Hyderabad: Following is a brief history of Andhra Pradesh and chronology of the

movement for Telangana (http://www.firstpost.com/topic/place/telanganaprofile

230151.html) state:

*The region, now being called Telangana

(http://www.firstpost.com/topic/place/telanganaprofile230151.html), was part of the

erstwhile Hyderabad state which was merged into the Indian Union on 17 September,

1948.

*Central government appointed a civil servant, M K Vellodi, as the first Chief Minister

of Hyderabad state on 26 January 1950. In 1952, Burgula Ramakrishna Rao was elected

Chief Minister of Hyderabad state in the first democratic election.

*Andhra was the first state to

be carved out (from erstwhile

Madras state) on linguistic

basis on 1 November, 1953. It

had Kurnool town (in

Rayalaseema region) as its

capital after the death of Potti

Sriramulu who sat on a 53day

fastuntodeath demanding

the new state.

* The proposal for

amalgamation of Hyderabad

state with Andhra state came

up in 1953 and the then Chief

Minister of Hyderabad state,

Burgula Ramakrishna Rao,

supported the Congress central leadership’s decision in this regard though there was

opposition in Telangana (http://www.firstpost.com/topic/place/telanganaprofile

230151.html) region.

* Accepting the merger proposal, Andhra assembly passed a resolution on November

25, 1955 promising to safeguard the interests of Telangana.

* An agreement was reached between Telangana leaders and Andhra leaders on

February 20, 1956 to merge Telangana and Andhra with promises to safeguard

Telangana's interests. A “Gentlemen’s Agreement” was then signed by Bezawada

Gopala Reddy and Burgula Ramakrishna Rao to the effect.

* Eventually, under the States Reorganisation Act, Teluguspeaking areas of

Hyderabad state were merged with Andhra state, giving birth to the state of Andhra

Pradesh on 1 November, 1956.

* The city of Hyderabad, the then capital of Hyderabad state, was made the capital of

Andhra Pradesh state.

* In 1969, an agitation began in Telangana region as people protested the failure to

implement the Gentlemen’s Agreement and other safeguards properly.

* Marri Channa Reddy launched the Telangana Praja Samiti espousing the cause of a

separate state. The agitation intensified and turned violent with students in the

forefront of the struggle and about 300 of them were killed in violence and police firing

that ensued.

* Following several rounds of talks with leaders of the two regions, the then Prime

Minister Indira Gandhi came up with an eightpoint plan on April 12, 1969. Telangana

leaders rejected the plan and protests continued under the aegis of Telangana Praja

Samiti.

* In 1972, Jai Andhra movement started in AndhraRayalaseema regions as a counter to

Telangana struggle.

* On September 21, 1973, a political settlement was reached with the Centre and a 6

point formula put in place to placate people of the two regions.

* In 1985, employees from Telangana region cried foul over appointments in

government departments and complained about ‘injustice’ done to people of the region.

The then Telugu Desam Party government, headed by N T Rama Rao, brought out a

Government Order to safeguard the interests of Telangana people in government

employment.

* Till 1999, there was no demand from any quarters for division of the state on regional

lines.

* In 1999, Congress demanded creation of Telangana state. Congress was then smarting

under crushing defeats in successive elections to the state Assembly and Parliament

with the ruling Telugu Desam Party in an unassailable position.

* Yet another chapter opened in the struggle for Telangana when Kalvakuntla

Chandrasekhar Rao, who was seething over denial of Cabinet berth in the Chandrababu

Naidu government, walked out of TDP and launched Telangana Rashtra Samiti on 27

April, 2001.

* Following pressure applied by Telangana Congress leaders, the Central Working

Committee of Congress in 2001 sent a resolution to the then NDA government seeking

constitution of a second States Reorganisation Commission to look into Telangana

state demand, which was rejected by the then Union Home Minister L K Advani saying

smaller states were “neither viable nor conducive” to integrity of the country.

*TRS started gradually building the movement for a separate state.

* Congress forged an electoral alliance with TRS by promising to create Telangana state.

Congress came to power in 2004, both in the state and at the Centre, and TRS became

part of the coalition governments at both places.

*** Protesting delay in carving out the separate state, TRS quit the coalition

governments in the state and at the Centre in December 2006 and continued an

independent fight.

* In October 2008, TDP changed its stance and declared support for bifurcation of the

state.

* TRS launched an indefinite hungerstrike on 29 November, 2009 demanding creation

of Telangana. The Centre budged and came out with an announcement on 9 December,

2009 that it was "initiating the process for formation of Telangana state".

* But the Centre announced on 23 December, 2009 that it was putting Telangana issue

on hold. This fanned protests across Telangana with some students ending their lives

for a separate state.

The Centre then constituted a fivemember Committee on 3 February, 2010, headed by

former judge Srikrishna, to look into statehood demand. The Committee submitted its

report to the Centre on 30 December, 2010.

* Telagana region witnessed a series of agitations like the Million March, Chalo

Assembly and Sakalajanula Samme (general strike) in 201112 while MLAs belonging to

different parties quit from the House.

* With its MPs from Telangana upping the ante, Congress made Union Home Ministry

to convene an allparty meeting on December 28, 2012 to find an “amicable solution” to

the crisis.
