both Hyd and Bnag ae burstin at its seams. the available infra is not enough. its better to build a new city from scratch.either in central india or in south.

Central India like UP/bihar? they don't even have basic facilities.
Better somewhere down south where the infrastructure is already in place.Delhi infrastructure is due to it being a capital,otherwise it would have been another UP/bihar.
Southern states and Maharasthra have good infrastructure.

UP is in North India. Bengal, Bihar, East India.

Southern states and Maharasthra have good infrastructure.

Central India is MP, Vidharba region of Maharashtra, Chhatisgarh.

That's a bummer. Seriously. Telangana gets Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh gets nothing? That is not fair. If I were a resident of Andhra Pradesh, I would be totally bummed out. All that hard work and gone in an instant. That is a heart-breaker.

I had come across some news about this Telangana-AP thing and Hyderabad being a serious issue. I had not known that Telangana finally got Hyderabad.

Yeah Andhra Pradesh people were pissed off cos they spent a lot of their taxes and investments in developing Hyderabad as capital for 60 years and they get nothing and have to start from scratch.But they have a formidable CM who is a good City builder.
He is already trying to make Andhra Pradesh an major port in all of S-E asia on the likes of singapore and hongkong.Singapore has only one port and all revenue is generated from it, he plans to make 5 ports all along the 1,000 km shoreline Andhra Pradesh has.This guy Chandra babu Naidu knows how to get investments and build mega cities, unfortunately our CM of Telangana is a novice compared to him.
Expect Andhra Pradesh to be a major port in all of South Asia even beating singapore i suppose.

Uncle Google does't tell anything about dille singh. However, it says:

The Etymology and idioms of “Delhi” is uncertain, but many possibilities exist. The very common view is that its eponym is Dhillu or Dilu, a king of the Mauryan dynasty, who built the city in 50 BC and named it after himself. The Hindi/Prakrit word dhili (“loose”) was used by the Tomaras to refer to the city because the Iron Pillar built by Raja Dhava had a weak foundation and was replaced. The coins in circulation in the region under the Tomaras were called dehliwal. Some other historians believe that the name is derived from Dilli, a corruption of dehleez or dehali—Urdu for ‘threshold’—and symbolic of city as a gateway to the Gangetic Plain. Another theory suggests that the city’s original name was Dhillika or Dehilika.

The Persianized surname Dahelvi is also related to residents of Delhi.
