The Telugu state was unified after centuries of breakup between Muslim ruled Telengana, Colonial ruled Circars and Coastal Andhra. So it is emotional to see it broken up for petty reason of misgovernance. Telengana at 42% land area is the largest, however due to it being in rainshed area doesnt produce much. Due to long dhimmitude, Telengana has developed a sense of 'takleef' and blames the rest of Andhra Pradesh for its ills.
Leaders from Telengana, like M. Chenna Reddy, raise the issue of disparity and get to power and then they loot the treasury and the cycle goes on.
The state has dumped tremendous resources into developing Hyderabad at the cost of the whole state.
A firm hand is needed to bring some sense to the folks. If there is a demand for a break up then the Telugu tribal districts (Vizag, Vizianagaram, Srikakulam, Khammam, Adilabad also should demand a separate state like Chattisgarh.

There will be demand by every district to have a seperate state. Every tribal with a population of 1000 or more is demanding a seperate state in NE and do we want the whole of India in the same situation?
Analyze what Chattisgargh or Jharkhand achieved after separation. Nothing other than either lawlessness or political instability. There should be no state less than 180 seats of assembly. Everytime BJP talks about smaller states they talk about Haryana and Himachal Pradesh as examples. Not all states can have the luxury of being river beds. This is a stupid comparison.
I believe UP is heart of India and dividing it in the name of governence is disastorous. By dividing the country into smaller states no one single state will have effect on the policies of central government. The lobbying by states worked very well in the development of country.
Let me give couple of examples. Every year the 2 MPs from Meghalaya request the railway minister to allocte rail development to their state. One time an MP even cried. The rail ministry never cares a two hoot because the state is not important politically. Can they do the same to UP?
Very recently when China intruded into Arunachal Pradesh, there was a protest by Arunachal MPs and no one really joined them in the parliament other than lip service.
If there are some regional imbalances, the states should adress them rather than dividing these states into smaller ones to create more instability.
Someone need to stop both BJP and congress from going into this disastorous path. If they want to bring stability at center they can increase the number of Loksabha seats to 800 based on latest census or divided the 800 equally between regions or by land area. There are many ways to solve the problem of hung Loksabha.
