MUNI THE BOSS

The Srikrishna Report on Telangana has been presented to political parties from Andhra Pradesh.

The Commission lists six options rather than recommendations in its report on how to handle the three parts of the state: Coastal Andhra, Telangana and Rayalaseema.

It then itself rules out the first three options as not being practical.


The six options that the report lists are:

1. Maintain status quo

2. Bifurcation of the State into Seemandhra and Telangana; with Hyderabad as a Union Territory and the two states developing their own capitals in due course

3. Bifurcation of State into Rayala-Telangana and coastal Andhra regions with Hyderabad being an integral part of Rayala-Telangana

4. Bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh into Seemandhra and Telangana with enlarged Hyderabad Metropolis as a separate Union Territory

5. Bifurcation of the State into Telangana and Seemandhra as per existing boundaries with Hyderabad as the capital of Telangana and Seemandhra to have a new capital

6. Keeping the State united by simultaneously providing certain definite Constitutional/Statutory measures for socio-economic development and political empowerment of Telangana region -creation of a statutorily empowered Telangana Regional Council

After listing these, the commission has rejected the first three as not being practical. Options four, five and six of the above are thus the options that the report presents as possible solutions to the Telangana issue.
