During the farewell event for the old Parliament building, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered thought-provoking remarks, delving into the complex issue of Andhra Pradesh's bifurcation. He acknowledged the strenuous efforts involved in the formation of Telangana, highlighting that the bifurcation of the state left both the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana communities unsatisfied. Modi expressed a sense that Telangana couldn't fully celebrate its newfound statehood. In his speech, Prime Minister Modi drew a contrast between the division of Telangana and the separation of Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. He explained that the division of the latter three states was executed meticulously during the tenure of Prime Minister Vajpayee, ensuring contentment among all communities and widespread celebrations. Prime Minister Modi lamented that the division of the unified Andhra Pradesh did not follow a similar path, resulting in a less harmonious outcome.
