A day-long consultation meet organised by 'The Hindu Centre for Politics and Public Policy' here today could not come out with any substantial solution for the prevailing crisis in Andhra Pradesh over the proposed division of the state even as participants wanted the Centre to reach out to people and civil society to end the impasse.
"The Centre could have done much more...It has not done enough to reach out to the people. It can still do more to reach out to the people and the civil society, beyond political parties, to find a solution to the crisis," the meet concluded.
Briefing newsmen in the evening about the day's deliberations, Economic and Political Weekly Executive Editor Aniket Alam and Senior Fellow, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies Yogendra Yadav said, "the problem is intractable. The passions are very high and its a zero-sum game. The division is clear, which is an unfortunate reality.
