The new Congress government hopes to resolve all bifurcation related issues in the next five years by adopting cordial relations with the new governments in AP and at the Centre that take over after general elections results on June 4. Former chief minister K.
Chandrashekar Rao went in for political confrontation with his AP counterpart N. Chandrababu Naidu soon after bifurcation in 2014, due to which none of the major bifurcation-related issues could be resolved from 2014 to 2019. Later, Rao adopted a similar strategy with the NDA government at the Centre after the BJP emerged as a political threat in Telangana and after Rao decided to expand his party to the national level by renaming TRS as BRS.
Rao did not meet Naidu to discuss and resolve bifurcation related issues. Rao even avoided meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi since September 2021. With this, the Centre too did not initiate steps to resolve pending bifurcation issues concerning Telangana.
It was Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, who met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in December 2023 soon after the Congress government came to power. In fact, Reddy also participated in Modi's official pro.
