Is Article 370 being implemented in Telugu states, albeit invisibly?

Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, reminds the State govt of the Centre's directive to take steps for deportation of Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Rohingyas
The article from The Hans India discusses the subtle implementation of Article 370-like policies in the Telugu states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, despite the article's official abrogation in Jammu and Kashmir. It highlights how regional political parties, such as the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) and the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), now known as Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), have been promoting regionalism and local identity, which some perceive as a form of invisible regional favoritism. The article points out that these parties have been accused of sidelining national integration in favor of regional interests, drawing parallels to the erstwhile special status enjoyed by Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370. It also mentions the criticism faced by these parties for allegedly fostering a sense of separatism and regional superiority, which could potentially undermine the unity and integrity of the nation.
