DILEMMA: THE CONCEPT OF SEPARATE STATE

Politicians must discourage unnecessary demands for separate states

The political equation has forced Congress to support them in an otherwise BJP ruled state. The Indian National Congress is also backing the ‘Telengana Rashtra Samiti,’ while their President K. Chandrashekhara Rao (who is also a Central Minister) is determined to take on the cause to the State as well as the Central government. However, the most intense of the lot is the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha’s clamour for Gorkhaland. Bimal Gurung, leader of the party, has resorted to civil disobedience to fulfil his goal to create the state by 2010.

Holistically speaking, this trend was actually started by BJP, when it was in power. Now the floodgates seem to have opened. The ruling governments of the states and the centre should not shamelessly play vote bank politics on this issue. Rather, they should nip this growing menace in the bud.
