No doubt, the statehood has been achieved, but it is a fact that Telangana is a landlocked state without any ports, which is a major disadvantage. In India, with the exception of Punjab, most of the states have progressed only because of the coastline and while AP has nearly 1000 km of coast, Telangana has none.
However, at the same time Machilipatnam port is the most close to the state located less than 200 km from the border with Telangana. Earlier, when KCR met CBN at Raj Bhavan for a warm up meeting after much acrimony, the CM declared to media that he sought co-operation of AP to use the port also called famously as Bandar airport.
But opening his war of words again, KCR didn’t speak on this issue again and now TRS minister from Khammam, Tummala said that he would do his best to use Kakinada and Bandar seaports for development of Telangana. Well if AP and TS can co-operate on this, then even Telangana can reap the fruits of development!
