In AP the rise of NTR has put a damper on Telegana aspirations. Let me explain myself before brickbats are thrown. Once NTR came to power there was no way a Telengana leader could be foisted onthe people in a popular contest. IOW opposition to NTR and CBN had to come from Andhra and that put a stop to the INC practice of letting off Telengana crisis/steam by appointing a CM from the region. But in fairness to the TDP., Hyderabad developed by leaps and bounds during their rule and a developing Hyderabad has a ripple effect on Telegana region whether one admits or not.
One thought I have is that Raj Thackeray type of regional politics is to declare all the major metros as their own states open to all of India.
