Chandrababu Naidu has to be CM of Seemandhra rather than one region

People of Seemandhra are already going through lot of pain after the AP bifurcation. Congress has bifurcated the state without due consideration in lot of matters. Education, Employment, Water are few of the areas which went missing in the AP reorganisation bills. The 69 page bill does not have any thing in concentrate and just hollow promises which need to be worked out. With a arch rivals Chandrababu Naidu and KCR at opposite ends of discussions things might be difficult to move.

Naidu has won with good majority in Seemandhra, he should make sure that he is CM of entire Seemandhra rather than only the North coastal belt. Most of the newspaper reports are pointing towards a IT hub for Vizag. Vizag has all the infrastructure required for being an IT hub an international  airport, descent IT setups already in the area and housing are some of them which makes a good starting point for IT hub.

As state capital he is talking about the Vijawada and Eluru area, which makes the ralyseema as neglected area. Although he is talking about manufacturing and mining as few sectors for ralyseema area. 

The state capital should be in the area between Guntur and Ongle rather than between Vijawada and Eluru as this would be in Centre of the state and accessible from all corners of Seemandhra and make sure that everybody is participating in growth rather than any single part of which seems to have happened in case when Andhrapradesh was a combined state which concentrated only one Hyderabad.

Nadiu prides himself that he has build Hyderabad and he can only build the new capital of Seemandhra. If he takes pride in the above statement then he should  also admit that because if his policies and decision it is today the state has been divided because the development was concentrated in only Hyderabad and he should not be repeating the same mistake in Seemandhra again.

Naidu is talking about mining and manufacturing in Ralyseema. It is a well know fact that mining is one of the most corrupt sectors in india, although it is a money spinner but it is not a employment generation machine.
Rayalseema is one of the most backward regions of Seemandhra, and manufacturing jobs which are more labour and low skilled jobs will put the region in path of development.
Rather than talking about manufacturing hubs in two regions that is north costal and Rayalseema, it should be concentrated only in Ralayseema. 

The above makes the state evenly build out with IT towards Vizag and surrounding, Rajumundry to Vijawada Agri based industry, Guntur and Ongole as state capital machinery and rest of Seemandhra which is Raylseema as manufacturing and mining. Nellore and Ongole can also host Agri based industry and manufacturing in Rayalseema.


In the end Nadiu has to be CM of a state rather than an region.

Indian political parties and Election Results 2014

India has been a country of political parties. Number of parties registered in India has increased drastically in so called secular front. In around 1980 there were three kind of parties or in-fact only three parties,CPI/M and its branches which were completely left(Socialists) thinking, Congress which is so called as centre which tries to balance both secular and somewhat forward thinking and then there was Janata Party which is now BJP which is completely right thinking. 

Over the last few decades there has been an constant increase in the centre thinking and socialist, so called secular parties, SP, BSP,TMC, JD(U) and so on… As education and middle class has gone up left parties like CPI have become irrelevant this is become clear in the number of seats CPI got in this election(2014) which lost its status as a national party.
As the number of socialist and secular parties have increased the number of right wing parties remained the same baring a few like Shiv Sena and few other regional parties.

There were too many parties in this secular and socialist space which automatically made the right wing parties or party(BJP) in this case much stronger. The growing number of Middle class made sure that the votes goes to progressive pro development government rather than pro poor government which is very much required but now with so many rights bills and welfare schemes already (By the last count it is around 150 of them)running. All these above cover Education, Food and Shelter, which cover all so called basic necessities Roti, Kapada, Primary Education and Makan. Most of the sates even cover Secondary and Higher education also under these schemes. 

Number of parties which are looking for the so called secular votes have grown but the people voting for these parties have decreased as the number of middle class has increased and the number of the Right Wing pro development parties has almost remained same and people voting for them has gone up, which is the reason why BJP got such a thumping majority.

The above is quite evident with vote share garnered by BJP which stands around 31% with allies included vote share goes up by 38.5%. Although 69% didn't wanted BJP government, still they got a majority. The reason for the above is the rest of votes got divided into multiple parties.
If one look's at the 2009 election, BJP got 18.5% of votes but were able to garner 116 seats, were as Congress in 2014 election was able to garner 19.3% vote share but ended up with just 44 seats. 


Now there is great responsibility on BJP to deliver on these fronts.
