Hyderabad, Feb. 14: <b>A massive 75 per cent of the state does not want bifurcation, even though a majority of people in Telangana favour the formation of a separate state.</b> Of 55,023 respondents polled in a survey conducted by Nielson Org-Marg for regional channel N-TV between October and December last year, only 25.04 per cent favoured the division of the state. <b>In Telangana, however, 59 per cent wanted statehood for the region.</b>
Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema overwhelmingly rejected division of the state. Of 9,799 samples collected in Rayalaseema only 11 per cent favoured the creation of a new state. A huge 95 per cent of the 25,406 respondents in Coastal Andhra were opposed to the idea. The survey showed that the Telangana sentiment is not very strong in Hyderabad (45 per cent) and the districts of Mahbubnagar (30 per cent) and Khammam (45 per cent). Districts in Telangana solidly backing separate statehood are Nalgonda (77 per cent), Warangal (77 per cent), Nizamabad (75 per cent), Karimnagar (65 per cent), Adilabad (63 per cent) and Ranga Reddy (64 per cent). Support for a new state is stronger in urban areas (54 per cent) than in rural areas (46 per cent).

yes the polticians want o make it happen. What is the real problem? So maybe a Greater Hyderabad including the two districts of Mahabubnagar and Khamam can be retained with the remaing Andhra Pradesh and retain a Telugu composite state? How would that look on the map? Otherwise its grave injustice to forcibilly merge these three districts with the rest of the nimrods by considering them part of greater Telengana.
