Hyderabad, May 18: With the completion of assembly elections in five states, Andhra Pradesh is keenly waiting for Congress’ call on the vexatious state bifurcation issue.
For years the Congress has dodged the issue fearing a political backlash. But its indecisiveness on either creating a Telangana state or keeping Andhra Pradesh united has done nothing to settle matters.
The distress caused to ordinary people, the beating that the state’s image had taken notably on the investment front, the internal rift that the main political parties of the state were left with and the enormous loss caused to the state exchequer on account of the strife are now part of history.
