Question

• C. Increase in employment opportunities
• D. Lack of interest in developments

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A Domination by Coastal Andhra people
B Loss of control of their resources

The coastal regions had a large number of English speaking youth. This was a cause of concern for the educational and employment opportunities for the youth of Telangana. Thus the people living in Telangana were scared that if the merger happened, the wealthier and more developed elite of Coastal Andhra would dominate the merged state.
