SRIKRISHNA COMMITTEE REPORT ON TELANGANA - DOWNLOAD. 6 OPTIONS. TELANGANA REPORT BY SRIKRISHNA COMMITTEE. HYDERABAD, ANDHRA PRADESH.
The Srikrishna Committee does not state whether it's in favour of a new state for Telangana. Instead, it lists the following options for the union government to consider.
Option 1: Maintain status quo (Least favored option as per Article 9.3(1) of the Report)
Option 2: Bifurcation of the State into Seemandhra and Telangana; with
Hyderabad as a Union Territory and the two states developing
their own capitals in due course (Committee Found this option Not Practicable as per Article 9.3(ii) of the Report)
Option 3: Bifurcation of State into Rayala-Telangana and coastal Andhra
regions with Hyderabad being an integral part of Rayala- Telangana (While this option has good economic justification, may not be acceptable to all the people as per Article 9.3(iii) of the Report)
Option 4: Bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh into Seemandhra and Telangana with enlarged Hyderabad Metropolis as a separate Union Territory. This Union Territory will have geographical linkage and contiguity via Nalgonda district in the south-east to district Guntur in coastal Andhra and via Mahboobnagar district in the south to Kurnool district in Rayalaseema
(Though there are some positives of this option it may be difficult to reach a political consensus in making this solution acceptable to all according to Article 9.3(iv) of the Report)
Option 5: Bifurcation of the State into Telangana and Seemandhra as per
existing boundaries with Hyderabad as the capital of Telangana
and Seemandhra to have a new capital (This option is considered as the second best option by the committee as per Article 9.3(v) of the Report)
Option 6: Keeping the State united by simultaneously providing certain
definite Constitutional/Statutory measures for socio-economic
development and political empowerment of Telangana region -
creation of a statutorily empowered Telangana Regional
Council
(This is the most preferred and recommended option by the Committee as per Article 9.3(vi) of the Report)

3. OPTIMAL SOLUTIONS/OPTIONS SUGGESTED BY SRIKRISHNA COMMITTEE
After going into all aspects of the situation as well as keeping in view the local, regional and national perspective, the Committee has given following suggestions
(1) Maintain status quo
(Least favored option as per Article 9.3(1) of the Report)
This implies treating the issue as basically a law and order/public order challenge to be handled by the state government, not requiring any major intervention by the Union Government. Such an approach is based on the history of the last 54 years when the demand for a separate state of Telangana was dealt with mainly in a political manner by accommodating different interest groups in the government and the party structure.
At the same time, it is noticed that the emotional appeal of "Telugu Pride" was invoked to keep separatist sentiments in check with the result that the demand for Telangana subsided but did not entirely disappear.
