NDTV Correspondent, Thursday December 10, 2009, New Delhi

After hours of discussions to resolve the Telangana crisis in Andhra Pradesh, Home Minister P Chidamabaram made a short statement on Wednesday night announcing the central government's decision to initiate the process for a separate Telangana state. He said:

"The process of forming the state of Telangana, will be initiated. An appropriate resolution will be moved In the state assembly.

We have requested the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh to withdraw the cases filed on or after November 2009, against all the leaders, students and others associated with present agitation. The Chief Minister informed us he will take the necessary steps in this regard.

We are concerned about the health of Shri K Chandrasekhar Rao, we request him to withdraw his fast immediately. We also appeal to all concerned, especially the students, to withdraw their agitation and help restore normalcy."

This is an complete political drama, how can the centre take decisions on dividing states on basis of someone fasting to death in a hospital that too on who is on celine (drips). Why should the state be divided, telangana has seen improvement only when people from Andhra, coastal & rayalaseema started dwelling there & invested money for the development of the capital. KCR has no ethics or principles in having done such an blunder by dividing Andhra Pradesh.Shameful on all who have supported this movement, there could have been an better amicable decision taken by an consensus from all region ministers & people. This is not acceptable & have to be condemned strictly. No one should take people for granted & make such incorrect decisions which will have a long lasting repercussions on the people of AP.
