Telangana was formerly part of Hyderabad State and was added to Andhra Pradesh in 1956 on linguistic grounds following the States Reorganization Act . There is an active political movement in Telangana that is seeking to secede from Andhra Pradesh to form a separate state, arguing that the underdevelopment of Telangana results from Andhra Pradesh being too big a state to govern effectively. In addition, they argue that the state government focuses on the more prosperous region of Coastal Andhra to the east. The Telangana Rashtra Samithi , a Political Party which advocates for a separate Telangana state, became part of the ruling coalition of Andhra Pradesh after the 2004 state legislative elections.
