How the Telangana crisis unfolded

How the Telangana crisis unfolded
New Delhi: The Telangana crisis began with TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao going on a fast unto death on the 29th of November demanding a separate state.

On the 9th of December after the Centre announced a guarded yes to the creation of Telangana, KCR ended his fast.

But the very next day massive protests broke out in the coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions against the bifurcation of the state.

On the 14th of December MLAs cutting across party lines began resigning in protest against Telangana demanding a unified Andhra Pradesh.

The Centre did a U-turn saying no decision will be taken till wide-ranging discussions are held with all parties KCR cried foul accusing the Centre of betrayal and pro-Telangana protests break out again.

The ruling Congress is caught in a deep divide within its own ranks as 13 ministers in the Rosaiah cabinet resign over the delay in forming Telangana.

And on December 30, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram invited all political parties from Andhra Pradesh for talks on January 5.
