In the months after, as the Congress, as the party in government at the Centre and in the state, struggled to manage competing demands of those for and against separate statehood, the formation of the Srikrishna committee calmed tempers substantially. The committee’s report, in fact, provided a valuable opportunity to engage all strands of opinion in Andhra Pradesh — it detailed the options on the table, and dwelt on the various ways in which Hyderabad’s status, the crux of so much anxiety for votaries and opponents of Telangana, could be addressed for the greater common good. Unfortunately, that precious opportunity has been allowed to keep slipping away, and once again the Telangana agitation is simmering over.
