Division surely bad for Rayalaseema

How division affects Rayalaseema depends much on whether Rayalseema will be forced to be a separate state. It is said that Coastal Andhra + Rayalseema is not feasible. Further, Coastal Andhra politicians do not want Rayaseema politicians. Rayalaseema by itself is not feasible, but greedy politicians might accept division for their own gains. Naxalism coming back to Telangana might or might not happen but factionism will rule the roost in Rayalaseema. Only because it was part of larger Andhra factionism has been some kind of control. Now that the Telugu sentiment is old-fashioned, it might not be a bad idea for mine-rich Anantapur might find takers from Karnataka nd join Karnataka and benefit from proximity to Bangalore. Kurnool too can follow the same route and join Karnataka. Chittoor, for long, wanted to join Tamilnadu and benefit from proximity to Chennai. Orphans.
