The capital city Hyderabad which is also one of the largest IT hubs of the nation has been a victim of Telangana statehood issue and hence the investments would be hard to come.
THE POLITICAL turmoil in Andhra Pradesh continues to cast an uncertain shadow on the future of the state and the ruling party has hardly been able to tame the situation. It must be recollected that Congress won the second consecutive election in 2009 under the leadership of the late YS Rajasekhara Reddy. His sudden and untimely death in a helicopter crash kicked off the turmoil.
The crisis deepened post the resignation of Jaganmohan Reddy from the Congress party and Kadapa parliamentary seat. Contrary to the expectation of analysts, he did not attempt to unseat the Congress government. He has, since then, made well planned and intelligent moves that have constantly cornered party high command.
The number of MLAs and MPs supporting him is constantly increasing day by day which is likely to create troubles for the ruling party. In the past one year TRS has emerged as a formidable political force in the Telangana region and its rise has been majorly at the cost of congress party. Further, the opposition party in Andhra, TDP has constantly targeted the ruling party and its policies. The biggest victims of this battle have been the people of the state. The state is already torn by the Telangana agitation since past one year. The moves of Jagan have compelled the Congress to invest its complete energy on retaining power.
The welfare schemes have ceased to work and the state revenue has been constantly shrinking. The floods that had hit the state recently destroyed thousands of hectares of crop and hence the agricultural revenue is unlikely to provide any relief. The capital city Hyderabad which is also one of the largest IT hubs of the nation has been a victim of Telangana statehood issue and hence the investments would be hard to come. The fall of real estate is another factor that is worrying the government’s exchequer. The state has never been so feeble in the past decade.With the number of farmer suicides escalating, the friction between the people of different regions is worrying too. As every party is busy consolidating its image, there isn't even a single credible leader who can be relied upon. The question that remains afloat is, who will save the state?
