Jawaharlal Nehru On formation of A.P.State

On 5th March, 1956 Jawaharlal Nehru declared at Nizamabad (Telangana) that the Government of India had decided to merge Telangana with Andhra. He also assured the Telangana people that "a masoom bachchi (Telangana),ek natkhat(Andhra) ke saath shadi ho raha hai. Kai din ke baad me ittefaq nahi hone ke vaje se talaq de sakte hain". An innocent girl(Telangana) is being married off to a delinquent (Andhra). If they are not interested they could seek separation at a later day.
