Statehood for Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema demanded

STAFF WRITER 22:38 HRS IST
Hyderabad, May 24 (PTI) Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema have lagged
behind in development and formation of separate states for the two
regions would facilitate focused growth, the Centre-appointed
committee on Telangana was told today.

"People of coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema have lost a lot due to the
special concessions given to Telangana, like those related to
government jobs," Andhra Joint Action Committee told the Srikrishna
Committee here.

"We demanded formation of a separate state for Rayalaseema and coastal
Andhra with Vijayawada as its capital," S Krishna Murthy, convener of
Andhra JAC, told reporters after a meeting with the Srikrishna panel
members.

Andhra Dalit Mahasabha, a Dalit outfit, also demanded a separate state
for Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra.

"Only two castes are dominating all others in the two regions.
Formation of separate Andhra state by excluding Telangana would herald
equitable development," Katti Padma Rao, leader of Dalit Mahasabha,
claimed.
