The reason you see all these guys rush to have a United Andhra is not because they love the state, because they will loose a strategic geographical edge in the state and multiple crores of money buried in real estate. #1 The filmy group is very apprehensive because all the activity is done in and around Hyderabad. #2 The political group is very much fearful because one of the major rivers (Godavari) flows through this region which means big time fight for water. #3 The worst to get hit will be the IT industry which again is in Hyderabad. Like it or not, the government of India made a blunder in announcing the bifurcation and believe it or not Hyderabad had been part of Telangana ever since its birth. The nearest border to the Andhra region is about 100 k.m from Hyderabad. So its going to be a messy life for people in that part of the world in the foreseeable future. As it has always been, the most affected will be the common man.

The area can't develop if the politicians don't make any effort. Previously it seemed like there was no incentive for the Andra politicians since they had the mandate of the (coastal) Andra section. But I think the new administration (of Telengana) will be held accountable if the state doesn't succeed. @Kalyan

So far the leaders who headed the movement during its history got sold to other parties (mainly the congress). There is no doubt socio-economic backwardness is how you can characterize this region, but 50 years is a pretty good spread of time for anyone to realize something tangible has to be done. But none of the past and the current leaders of the state seem to take a deep interest in developing that region. The answer to the question of development doesn't lie in bifurcation but in the mindset of the politicians. Its possible that a new state is formed and the region still remains poverty ridden. Unless, the leaders take up the task of development you would still see this region that way it had been.

The Rayal seema area is naxal affected and Telangana region is economically backward except Hyderabad. Coastal Andhra is the most flourished and most developed of all the regions and all the wealth from the Telangana region comes to the mighty lobbyists of Coastal Andhra. This is the reason there is strict protest from the politicians from Coastal Andhra on the formation of Telangana. Also I support Viv's statement that Hyderabad should be put in Coastal Andhra only, if the indstrialists have to get enough resources and support.
