Respected Sirs
Sub: Feedback on Terms of Reference of the GOM
Before going to our feed back on Terms of Reference of the GOM, we would like to state that we demand not to divide the linguistic States basing on the movements of one side demand, that too of Vested interests, denigrating the other side opinions and hence we oppose the division of state and demand to retain the state as it is.
Further we state that the Cabinet of Ministers of GOI (herein after called Cabinet) did not see the difference between a political party and Government. Who asked the Cabinet to divide the Andhra Pradesh in to two? The cabinet decided to divide the state on the basis of letters given by the political party leaders.
It is true that political parties will have its role in the present democracy. At the same time a political party is a group of people with certain Kind of Principles, policies and Ideologies. While some people like those Principles, policies and Ideologies, others may dislike. So Letters given by the political parties will not depict the opinions of all the people on this issue.
A person elected by the people with majority Votes polled for Assembly or Parliament will be the representative of the people of the constituency.
Such elected member will represent all the people of his constituency notwithstanding whether they voted in his favour or against or be a non-voter. An independent candidate who does not belong to any political party may be elected in the present set up as MLA/MP who can represent the people of such constituency. Such elected members for Assembly and cabinet of Ministers elected on the floor of Assembly in case of State constitute the state Government. In the same lines, elected members for Parliament and cabinet of Ministers elected on the floor of Parliament in case of Indian Union constitute the Union Government, which is popularly called as Central Government. In short, MLAs and MPs are the official representatives of the people- not the political parties. If the representatives of the people give the letters in favour of division of State, it amounts to people opinion as they are supposed to gather the opinions of the people in their constituency. In this connection, we are placing the following questions before GOM.

In short, MLAs and MPs are the official representatives of the people- not the political parties. If the representatives of the people give the letters in favour of division of State, it amounts to people opinion as they are supposed to gather the opinions of the people in their constituency. In this connection, we are placing the following questions before GOM.
1. Has any MLA or MP (peoples representatives), in the capacity of MLA or MP, from Andhra Pradesh
given letters to Union Government demanding the bifurcation of State of Andhra Pradesh?
2. If so, how many MLAs and MPs from Andhra Pradesh have given the Letters demanding the
bifurcation of State of Andhra Pradesh?
3. If not so, what prompted the Union Government to prepare a note for the division of Andhra Pradesh?
4. If the cabinet is prompted by the letters of Political Parties, how is such cabinet note a valid one when
political parties and their leaders are not the official representatives of the people?
The GOM or the Ministry of Home affaires should give valid answers to the People of Andhra Pradesh before proceeding further. We assert that the people of Andhra Pradesh through their representatives have never asked the Union Government to divide the state in to two.
Further the political parties which gave the letters in favour of division of Andhra Pradesh are divided vertically on this issue. Despite the fact that the leaders of those political parties favoured the division of the State through their letters, MLAs and MPs elected on the symbol of those parties officially rejected the division of state and favoured for keeping the state united. The official evidence for their rejection of division of state is the memorandum submitted to Honorable President of India by them on 24.10.2013 and a writ petition filed by another MP against the division of state in Honorable Supreme Court of India. There are so many other evidences showing that the political parties are divided in to two Camps on this issue. It is clear that the leaders of the Political parties gave the letters in favour of division of state against the opinions of their own members. Hence the letters given by the leaders of the political parties for the division of state themselves are undemocratic. How can GOI consider those letters given by political parties for the division of State as the opinion of the Party when the two camps ‘for’ and ‘against’ the division of the state within the same party are conspicuous? When the cadre of a political party in Telangana area demand for separate Telangana and at the same time the cadre of the same party in Seemandhra demand for Separate Andhra, both demands reflect the wish of the entire party in favour of division of the state. When the cadre of a political party in Telangana area demand for separate Telangana and at the same time the cadre of the same party in Seemandhra demand for United Andhra Pradesh, it does not reflect the opinion of the entire party as ‘division’ and ‘United’ are contradictory. So the letter given by such political party leaders in favour of Division of state are not democratic ones. Such letters reflect the wishes of the leaders of such parties in favour of division, not the wish of entire party. When the letters given by the political parties are unable to represent the opinions of their own members, how do such undemocratic letters will represent the opinion of the people? How can such undemocratic letters be the basis for the note prepared by the Cabinet for the division of state? So, the note itself prepared by the Cabinet for the division of state is anti-democratic and against Constitution of India (COI) and “The Representation of People Act”.
When the political paties who gave the letters for the division of the state are vertically devided in to two camps on this issue, and when there are no letters from the elected representatives of Andhra Pradesh i.e., from MLAs and MPs, the only way that remains for the GOM is to elicit opinion of the people of Andhra Pradesh on the issue to proceed further. So we demand the GOM to come to the state and arrange sittings in each district Head quarters in existing Andhra Pradesh allowing the people of the Districts to depose their opinions on this subject before GOM. That will be democratic Process. Unless GOM does not hear the opinions of the People existing in Costal and Rayala Seema (for brevity Seemandhra), it will amount to dictatorship and it is against the spirit of Constitution of India (COI).
If the Government of India wants to go ahead on the basis of such undemocratic letters given by Political Parties which have divided opinion on this issue and the division of the Andhra Pradesh State is inevitable, as it is not possible to present again and again our opinion on Terms of Reference (TOR) of the GOM, Tax Payers Association gives hereunder its opinion with a hope that the GOM will consider without bias.
I). Boundaries and River waters
As soon as the decision of Congress Working Committee (CWC) to divide the state of Andhra Pradesh in to two states came out on 30th July 2013, Seemandhra people felt shocked and the region has been witnessing a surge of fury of people. The people of Seemandhra started coming on to roads and waging struggles demanding for keeping the AP united. Scorning these agitations, Cabinet of Ministers of GOI approved a note to divide the State raising the curtain for official process for division of the state.
The reasons for the agitation of the Seemandhra people are as given below.
01. Krishna River enters into Mahaboobnagar District and flows through southern edge of Nalgonda District ( Both are in Telangana ) and enters in Krishna District of Seemandhra. Southern side of Krishna river exists karnool, Guntur districts while in northern side exists Mahbbobnagar and Nalgonda Districts of Telangana. The existing major projects on Krishna River are Srisailam, Nagarjuna Sagar, Pulichintala and Prakasam Barrage.
Right canal of Srisailam Project assured the irrigation in Kurnool and Kadapa districts of Seemandhra while Left canal assured the irrigation and drinking water in Nalgonda District and irrigation in Khammam district of Telangana and west Godavari of Seemandhra.
Right canal of Nagarjuna Sagar assured irrigation in Guntur, Prakasam Dsitricts of Seemandhra while Left canal assured irrigation in Nalgonda and Khammam Districts of Telangana.
Pulichintala and Prakasam Barrage projects supply the water for irrigation in four districts of Costal Districts of Seemandhra i.e.Prakasam, Guntur, Krishna and West Godavari Districts.
Fear of Seemandhra People
As a whole, the major irrigation area under the projects on Krishna River is in Seemandhra while the upstream area of Krishna River existed largely in Mahaboob Nagar and Nalgonda Disrticts of Telangana. If the state is bifurcated, if the Telangana People stops the water by maneuvering, the entire irrigated area will become arid. This problem may not come when the rainfall is sufficient. This will come when there is a shortage in rainfall. The Seemandhra People are afraid of their irrigated area that it will become arid. This fear is not baseless. This fear is not mere illusionary. This fear traces its foot from the historical facts and tendencies of Telangana Rulers which we explain in the later part of this feed back.
Our Demand
The irrigated area under Krishna River in Seemandhra is major part when compared to Telangana. The existing irrigated area both in Seemandhra and Telangana should not be affected by the bifurcation of State. If the existing irrigated area under Krishna River is to be protected, we propose the following points.
A) No new irrigation or multi purpose projects are to be allowed to be constructed on Krishna River by any of the New states.
B) However, Drinking water projects in the form of small check dams can be allowed with the mutual consent of both new States for both areas
C) Hydro electricity projects without Canals can be allowed. It should be only for electricity Generation.
D) The tribunal of Krishna River should ensure the allotment of the water to existing irrigated area as per existing pattern.
Polavaram Project:
Polavaram irrigation Project on Godavari River should be declared as National Project.
Southern Boundary between Telangana and Seemandhra
The upstream areas of both Krishna and Godavari rivers are in Telangana Region. If the AP state is bifurcated, the Seemandhra farmers will be subjects to the mercy of Telangana Rulers. It will be inevitable that the fa rmers of Seemandhra under River Godavari irrigated area will be bound to continue to be dependents on Telangana Rulers as the fact that the river Godavari, given its geographical position, can not be brought under the control of both proposed States. But the farmers under the river Krishna irrigated area of Seemandhra can be rescued from the clutches of Telangana Rulers by redrawing the boundaries of southern side between Telangana and Seemandhra as detailed below.
A) A stretch of 20 Kilometers distance from the northern bank of Krishna River towards North along with Mahaboobnagar and Nalgonda Districts is to be included into Seemandhra. Thereby the entire Krishna River from Karnataka Boarder to Bay of Bengal will fall in Seemandhra area which gives confidence to the farmers of Seemandhra that they are not dependents on the mercy of Telangana Rulers and assures water for irrigated area in Seemandhra.
B) However, as explained aforesaid under the rubric of our feed Back, the tribunal of Krishna River should ensure the allotment of the water to existing irrigated area as per existing pattern in both Telangana and Seemandhra Region and no new irrigation projects are to be allowed to be constructed on Krishna River except for drinking water projects with mutual consent.
C) As the Godavari River is under the control of Telangana and River Krishna under the control of Seemandhra, Rulers and Political parties in both States are bound to move in coordinated way.
D) In 1959 Bhadrachalam Revenue Division consisting of Bhadrachalam and Nuguru Venkatapuram Taluks of East Godavari district, which were on the other side of the river Godavari were merged into Khammam on grounds of geographical contiguity and administrative viability. Now the said area should be reverted back to Seemandhra
E) Up to 1958, Munagala Paragana (presently in Nalgonda District of Telangana) consisting of 24 major Villages along with 19 hamlet villages used to be in Krishna District of Andhra. Later for administrative purpose, Munagala Paragana was included in Nalgonda District.
The main Villages (23) of Munagala Paragana are
1.Neelamarri, 2.Thaduvaye, 3.SyedMujavarpet, 4.Madhavavaram, 5.Repala,
6.Kalukova, 7.Munagala, 8.Ganapavaram,9.Kokkireny, 10.Bharakhatgudem,
11.Aakhupamula.12.KagitharamaChandrapuram,13.Karivirala,14.Brindhavana-puram, 15.Siripuram, 16.Chakirala, 17.Nadigudem, 18.Ramapuram,
19Yekhalaskhampet, 20.Thellabelly, 21.Rathnavaram,22.Singhavaram.
23. Komarabanda.
The Hamlet Villages (19) of Munagala Paragana are
1 Kolichattivarigudem 2 Venkatramapuram 3 Narayanagudem
4 Thimmareddygudem 5 Mukundapuram 6 Narasimhapuram
7 Kodandaramapuram 8 Krishnapuram 9 Srirangapuram 10 Venugopalapuram
11 Narasimhulagudem 12 Jagannadhapuram 13 Rayasamudrram
14 Seetharamapuram 15 Chennakeshavapuram 16 Venkatramapuram
17 Kodipunjulagudem 18 Lakshmipuram 19 Suraigudem
These 23 main villages and 19 hamlet villages of Munagala Paragana have to be reverted back to Krishna District of Seemandhra.
F) No other Boundaries between Seemandhra and Telangana, except the boundary as explained in Points “A” and “D” and “E” above, need be altered.
II). New Capital
The People of Seemandhra have always been subjects to injustice since the time of Kakateeya Rulers. The rulers from Telangana played with the people of Seemandhra and exploited the people. Details are given below
1. The Kakateeya Rulers, having established their Capital at Oorugallu (present Warangal City in Telangana), exploited the people of Seemandhra and developed Warnagal in accordance with the then norms with the moneys of Seemandhra. But the Seemandhra People had to forego the Warangal.
2. Later the Seemandhra was ruled by Nizam Nawabs. They exploited the people of Seemandhra and founded the Bhagya Nagaram ( Present Hyderabad) with the moneys exploited from Seemandhra People and developed it.. Later the Costal Districts from Ganjam in Odisha to Nellore in Andhra Pradesh and Kadapa, Karnool and Anantapur Districts of Rayalaseema and Ballari of present Karnataka were ceded to British Rulers. Thus the Seemandhra People lost Hyderabad.
3. After ceding the Seemandhra Area to Britishers, the area came under the control of Madras Presidency. The City of Madras (present Chennai) was also the Land of Telugu people. The land of Madras area belonged to the Raja of Chandragiri (near Tirupati of Chittur District of Rayala Seema Andhra Pradesh). In 1639, a piece of Land adjacent to Madarasapatnam, a fishing village, was given to East India Company to construct a Fort for their business. The company constructed a fort in the site naming it as St George Fort. The Telugu people developed a town around the Fort, called George Town. Later the Company clubbed the said fishing village Madarasapatnam to George Town and called it as Madras. Since then the Telugu people of Seemandhra had developed the Madras in various Ways. Only in 18th Century, the entire Tamilndu came under British Control. Since the inception of the St George Fort to the Independence in 1947, the Seemandhra People developed the Madras City. The revenue earned from Seemandhra people under Rytwari System was used to develop Madras Town by British Rulers. After Independence, at the time of States reorganization on the Linguistic basis, the Seemandhra people had to forego the developed City Madras
4. After the dividing the state from Madras, Karnool of Rayala Seema was made capital of Andhra and high court was established at Guntur of Costal region. After merging the Hyderabad State in to Andhra, the Capital and High court were shifted to Hyderabad. Once again the Seemandhra People came under the control of Hyderabad in Telangana. The Hyderabad has been developed in various ways expending the revenue earned from Seemandhra people. Seemandhra people contributed for the development of Hyderabad City in various ways at the cost of their own Cities and Towns. Now the situation has arisen that Seemandhra people are bound to forego the developed City, i.e., Hyderabad.
In brief, Seemandhra people developed Warangal, Madras and Hyderabad, but could not retain. The revenue, wisdom, skills and capital from Seemandhra people have been utilized for the development of these three Cities from Kakateeya Rulers to present day. As soon as these Cities were developed, Seemandhra people have been hurled out. It has become a practice. This should not be allowed to be repeated.
Our Demand
Not to speak of future generations, the present Generation of Seemandhra should not forego the fruits of the development of the State. The development of state in respect of Job potentiality and industries has been concentrated at Hyderabad. In order not to detach the present generation of Seemandhra people from the development for which they contributed a lot, the following Steps have to be taken.
In TOR, it is mentioned that the Hyderabad should be the common Capital for both Telangana and residue of Andhra Pradesh for a period of 10 Years. We are opposing the period of 10 years. As the Hyderabad is the Capital of the people of existing Andhra Pradesh, as it belongs to the people of Andhra Pradesh, the Seemandhra people kept quite when the Governments expended the revenue of Seemandhra for the development of Hyderabad. When the division of State is inevitable, when the Seemandhra people are being ousted from Hyderabad, when it is confirmed that Hyderabad will no more belong to Seemandhra people, why should the revenue earned from Seemandhra region be spent further for the development of Hyderabad? Seemandhra People do not need to contribute further a single rupee for the development of Hyderabad. In stead, it will be useful for the Seemandhra people to expend their revenue for the development of their own region.
So, we demand that the new capital for Seemandhra people should be decided forthwith before the division bill is introduced in the Parliament. The formalities should be completed and start functioning from New capital City within two years from the date of division.
III). Steps to be taken before the Division Bill is introduced
Keeping in view the fact that the present Generation of Seemandhra should not forego the fruits of the development for which they have contributed hitherto, the following steps are to be taken before the division bill is introduced in parliament.
Industries & Central Educational and Research Institutes
On 1st November 1956, Andhra Pradesh was formed with the merger of the then Hyderabad state in to Andhra. Then the capital was shifted from Karnool of Seemandhra to Hyderabad and Hyderabad was made capital of Andhra Pradesh. Since then so many industries have been established in and around Hyderabad by the Central and State Governments. We list them below.

2. Sri Padmavathi Mahila Viswa Vidyalaya – Tirupathi
The list does not include universities like the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University which has campuses in all the three regions.
If we observe the above lists, 10 out of 12 Public Sector Undertakings, 46 out of 50 Central Educational and Research Institutes were established at Hyderabad after the formation of Andhra Pradesh in 1956. The above lists reveal that there are very few educational institutes and public sector undertakings were established outside the Hyderabad.
Adding the woes to wound, the GOI has sanctioned Information Technology Investment Region (ITIR) to Hyderabad City which, according to IT Minister of Andhra Pradesh Sri Ponnala Lakshmaiah, will generate employment for 70.70 Lakhs people (Direct employment 14.80 Lakhs and Indirect employment 55.90 Lakhs) and revenue Rs 3.10 lakhs crs. If we observe the tendency of Central Government, they are establishing Industries at Hyderabad only denigrating the other regions of Andhra Pradesh. Why has Seemandhra to be excluded from ITIR which generates such huge employment? So the ITIR has to be distributed to Seemandhra also.
The educational institutes and public sector undertakings are located in Hyderabad primarily because it is the state capital and are expected to provide opportunities for people all across the state. With the same intention, the Seemandhra people, despite the fact that Seemandhra has big and historical Cities, did not object for their establishment at Hyderabad. Moreover Seemandhra people and leaders co-operated. If the state is bifurcated, the Seemandhra will become desert and its people will lose the opportunities. Seemandhra People will have to come out with nothing. They will have to forgo the developed industries and job potentialities for which they contributed hitherto. It will take decades to create such industries and Educational and Research Institutes in Seemandhra. Meanwhile at least one generation will completely lose the fruits. It will become totally injustice to Seemandhra.
Our Demand
The motto of the bifurcation should be that people of present generation of either part should not lose the industrial development and opportunities. So the solution for this problem is to relocate some of the above PSUs and Central Educational and Research Institutes and Proposed ITIR to Seemandhra. We demand the following are to be relocated to Seemandhra from Hyderabad in order to make justice to Seemandhra people.
PSUs to be relocated to Seemandhra from Hyderabad
01. National Mineral Development Corporation Ltd
02. Andhra Bank Ltd.
03. Misra Dhatu Nigam Ltd

01 Agricultural University
02 Central University
03 Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)
04 Indian Institute of Management and Commerce
05 All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS)
Up-gradation To Super Specialty Hospitals
01. Though the Dr NTR Health University is located at Vijayawada of Seemandhra, Post Graduate and Super specialty medical Seats are at Hyderabad. If the state is bifurcated, Seemandhra students will lose those seats. If the Post Graduate and Super specialty medical Seats are to be increased in Seemandhra, medical College Hospitals in Seemandhra are to be converted as Super Specialty Hospitals with Modern Equipments. So we demand King George Hospital at Visakhapatnam, General Hospital at Guntur, Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences at Tirupati are to be converted as Super Specialty Hospitals.
02. The proposed Super Specialty Hospital at Vijayawada is to be completed forthwith.
Special Provison : All the students from the residue of Andhra Pradesh after bifurcation of the State should be treated as locals as is done prensently in the matters of Seats ,research Scholorships and Jobs until the above institutions are founded in residue of Andhra Pradesh.
In addition to the above, the following are to be sanctioned to Seemandhra
03. Creation of New Railway Zone at Vijayawada
04. Construction of Seaports at 14 notified non-major ports.
05. Sanction of Hardware Manufacturing Industry to Seemandhra as a part of ITIR already sanctioned to Hyderabad
06. Sanction of Metro rail projects to Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam
07. Up-gradation of Vijayawada Airport (located at Gannavaram) to International Airport.
IV). Compensation for the infrastructure development.
Hyderabad City has been developed by creating Infrastructure and permanent structure with the revenue contribution from Seemandhra. It can not be taken back.
Our Demand
Apart from the relocation of industries, Central educational and research Institutes to Seemandhra and Sanction of New ones as demanded under point no III supra, the GOI should release the funds for the creation of Infrastructure in the Cities existing in Seemandhra. It may be around Rs 1 lakh crores.
V). Compensation for the construction of New Capital
As the Seemandhra people has to leave Hyderabad City containing many more constructions which housed the Government offices including Secretariat and directorates, a new capital should be carved out for residue of Andhra Pradesh with constructions to house the Government offices including Secretariat, directorates and New Assembly Hall and with sufficient infrastructure.
Our Demand
So, we demand the GOI to release funds of Rs 50,000 Cr for carving the New Capital for residue of Andhra Pradesh.
V). Conclusion
We place our demands briefly
01. Andhra Pradesh shall not be bifurcated as the people through their official representatives have not demanded the bifurcation.
02. If the GOI goes ahead for bifurcation denigrating the fact that people of Andhra Pradesh through their official representatives have not demanded the bifurcation, the following measures are to be taken
A) A stretch of 20 Kilometers distance from the northern bank of Krishna River towards North along with Mahaboobnagar and Nalgonda Districts is to be included into Seemandhra and other points Point No I supra are to be undertaken
B) New Capital should be decided for residue of AP before the division bill is introduced
C) Relocation of industries, Central educational and research Institutes to Seemandhra and Sanction of New ones as demanded under point no III supra
D) Rs One Lakh Crore have to released for infrastructure development in Cities of residue of AP
E) Rs 50,000 Crs Crore have to released for carving out new Capital for residue of AP
F) An official nodal agency has to be crated to look after all these works
We don’t want to consider the mere assurances. We need constitutional and Budget Guaranties before going to Division of the state. So we finally demand GOI that it should precede further after all the measures to be taken for the completion of above demands are included in the Division bill to be introduced in Parliament with a time frame of two financial years ending with 31st March 2016.
70 % of the above amount should be allocated and released to residue of AP through the official nodal agency from Union Budget for 2014-15 and remaining 30% should be allocated and released from Union Budget for 2015-16. But these allocations should also be guaranteed by the constitutional amendment which should be included in Division Bill.
Finally we once again reiterate our demand that the linguistic state should not be bifur- cated as it is not asked/requested/demanded by the people of Andhra Pradesh through their representatives. If the state is bifurcated without asking by the people through their represen-tatives, it will be undemocratic and make a mockery of COI and “The Representation of People Act”
With this we conclude our submission
(V.Sambi Reddy) (M.V.Anjaneyulu)
