Telangana

It's all very well to carve out Telangana, Rayalseema, maybe also a Konaseema out of AP, but the problem is that we will all get our Shibu Sorens.
Another problem will be the free hand that the new regime will give the Maoists.
Just the preliminary stages of this agitation has seen so much destruction of property both private and government, the toll is going to be very high as the mess gets deeper.
Who will pay for all the damage? The people who support such lawlessness are going to rule the state.
There is nothing wrong in having small states -in fact why not make Ranga Reddy, Medak ...etc all into states while we are about it.... but who will get to govern it? That is what worries us all.
The concept that smaller states are governed better, is without much evidence. Goa is not any spectacular example of good governance...and as far as I know, neither is Pondicherry.
It just depends on who governs the state and is he/she willing to do a good job or not-- nothing to do with the size of the state.
