Maintain status quo.
Committee's view: Not practical.
Divide state into Seemandhra and Telangana, Hyderabad as Union Territory and the two states developing their own capitals.
Committee's view: Prospect of violence, not practicable.
Divide state into Rayala-Telangana and Coastal Andhra, with Hyderabad being an integral part of Rayala-Telangana.
Committee's view: Not acceptable to all three regions.
Divide AP into Seemandhra and Telangana, with enlarged Hyderabad Metropolis as a separate Union Territory.
Committee's view: Stiff opposition from T-protagonists, political consensus difficult.
Divide AP into Telangana and Seemandhra as per existing boundaries with Hyderabad as the capital of Telangana and Seemandhra to have a new capital.
Committee's view: Will satisfy Telangana, but will also throw up serious problems: Second best option.
United AP, provide definite constitutional/statuary measures for Telangana.
Committee's view: Could provide satisfaction to the maximum number of people. Best option.
