Telangana creation: BJP failed in its opposition to Congress

Editor’s note: This is a reader we received on the piece How Jaitley made sure BJP, Modi still gain from Telangana . As per Firstpost policy, the comment has been lightly edited for spellings and grammar.  By theq Either BJP is trying to fool people or they are very naive. These kind of foolish justifications will only work in North India. To say that a major South Indian state was divided in such a way is a humiliation to all of us in South India including myself from Kerala. Both parties appeared to be conniving and conspiring to divide the state totally ignoring the sentiments of people from Seemandhra. AP cannot be compared to the other states that were divided before because it is a more wealthier state and all Telegus have had a hand in developing Hyderabad.

The entire LS and RS proceedings were humiliating. Voices of Andhra Pradesh ministers were not heard and voice vote was done by both the speakers. Venkiah Naidu seemed like he was trapped and none of his amendments were passed. The Congress and the BJP played this as per vote estimates totally ignoring the people who are living in these 2 regions. BJP has failed in its opposition to Congress ( or were conspiring with ) and I will never ever be their supporter again. If Andhra Pradesh is divided and humiliated like this, what about the rest of our states? We probably won’t have a say.
