Andhra Pradesh and Telangana look like warring countries, not Indian states

Andhra Pradesh fumbles on estimate of non-tax revenues this year
April 13, 2015, 09.04 am IST

Telangana government is concentrating on improving its tax and non-tax revenue this financial year, the Andhra Pradesh government will be depending on funds from the Central government and borrowings.

Usually, state governments estimate more revenues from tax and non-tax heads but the AP government surprisingly has estimated less income from non-tax revenue this year than the previous year.

The Telangana government has estimated Rs 68,908 crore from tax and non-tax revenue in the present year, Rs 20,288 crore more than last year.

The AP government, meanwhile, has estimated Rs 49,764 crore from tax and non-tax revenue in the present financial year, only Rs 2,368 crore more than last year. The AP government, however, is expecting more funds from the Centre in addition to borrowings.

The Telangana government got Rs 35,378 crore as tax revenue last year while it has estimated Rs 46,495 crore for this year, Rs 11,117 crore more.

The AP government received Rs 38,475 crore as tax revenue last year and it has estimated Rs 44,423 crore in the present year, Rs 5,948 crore more than the previous year.

The Telangana government got Rs 13,242 crore in non-tax revenue last year and it is expecting Rs 22,413 crore this year. The AP government received Rs 8,921 crore last year and it is expecting Rs 5,341 crore this year.

The TS government had stated that it would sell land to raise revenue but later had decided against it. The question now is how will it raise Rs 22,413 crore from non-tax revenue in the present financial year.

From major revenue-earning departments like the Commercial Taxes department, the Telangana government is expecting Rs 8,520 crore more this year while the AP government is expecting Rs 4,091 crore more.

From the Excise department, Telangana is expecting Rs 1,093 crore and AP government is expecting Rs 450 crore more than the previous year.

From the Transport department, Telangana is expecting Rs 273 crore and AP government is expecting Rs 158 crore more than the previous year.

From the Stamps and Registrations department, the Telangana government is expecting Rs 1,116 crore and AP government Rs 900 crore more than last year.

Telangana is expecting more non-tax revenues from regularisation of buildings and the Andhra Pradesh government is expecting revenue from selling red sanders.

Wrong.. The Problem is the bifurcation (& lack of special status.) It was done in a rushed & incompetent manner!!
I am sure the Governor has been left confused about his role.. especially when it comes to Section-8 of the AP re-organisation act

TG has been left a revenue surplus state because of it & AP a revenue deficit state. (of course CBN HAS to take responsibility for all those ridiculous subsidy schemes which have come after he came to power)

AP has been left without a capital for which it has to start all over again,at the same time it has a neighbouring state's CM who doesn't hesitate to abuse Andhraites ,AP & it's CM left & right..

And NO I have a few family friends in the IAS, they + my sources confirm Special Status can Not come(because of the 14th Finance commision report) & if it comes, it will be because of a miracle

@Echo_419 I forgot to tell you this. TG is the second richest state in India after Gujarat(in KCR's own words) because of the bifurcation(All the tax money+projects in Hyderabad went to it).. Add to that it has a brilliant ecosystem in IT, Pharma(because of CBN) & in Electronics(before CBN) which helps it tremendously..

Well I don't know much about politics of south, so I will trust your words also you are correct in united AP Hyderabad was a powerhouse & apart from Vizag new AP does not have a good city but I wish all the best to both of the states.one thing that I was sad about when the stare was divided was the fab that was coming up in AP but after beautification the plans for Fab were shelved :(

Yes I have edited my post , please go through it anna..

@Hindustani78 By the way, nuvvu Hyderabad lo ne untava? :)

& yes AP, needs that special status for investments to flow into it& CBN too must cut down on govt. expenditure & start focusing on infrastructure & on the rest of the state,other than Amaravati

Wasn't CBN kicked out last time due to focusing to much on Hyderabad

Yep he focused too much on Hyderabad. He wanted to make Hyderabad the IT cash-cow of the state which would fund all his subsidy+welfare+infra+developmental schemes.
This did not impress the rest of the state.

& so This strategy miserably failed..

Add to that YSR worked very hard & campaigned a lot to secure a victory for the Congress in AP, he also promised too many welfare+subsidy schemes(which Hyd. would fund of course)..

CBN basically lost because he focused too much on Hyd.+YSR's campaigning & promises+the ensuing drought in the country+add the reasons for Vajpayee's defeat(& some muslim votes were lost because of 2002.)+A grand alliance consisting of the Commies,TRS & Congress vs NDA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yep apart from Vizag,Tirupati & Vijayawada.. AP has no other great cities

Damm em commies
 
NO point in abusing the commies, they are irrelevant..

They only have/had influence in Very few assembly(10-20,I think) seats back then :) ..

When I say 'Damm em commies' I mean all the commies including the closet commies like congress.also enough of this time to study :enjoy:
 
correct in united AP Hyderabad was a powerhouse & apart from Vizag new AP does not have a good city

Hyderabad to A.P is similar to what bang is to karnataka, chennai is to TN and mumbai is to maharastra.. these cities are single biggest revenue earners . without them all of these states are redundant and will stand on the likes of U.P/bihar..

CBN was a clever politician and was far clever of his time.. during his rule he developed hyd in to a global city and later started concentrating on viag.. he even tried to bring investments to vizag, by then he lost power and later govts were not interested in having a holistic development of the state.

Wasn't CBN kicked out last time due to focusing to much on Hyderabad
CBN has always been unlucky to farmers.. during his rule there was very less rainfall and we had drought for almost 2/3rd of his rule.. add to this the unfriendly attitude of CBN towards agriculture which cost him rural votes.. and the most imp reason for his loss was his attitude towards govt employees.. he followed strict rules where employees were forced to be in office by 9 a.m and were forced to work overtime. There used to be sudden inspections by CBN himself and if any employee is late or is not found in his seat,he was suspended immediately. the low pay rise irked govt employees further. incidents like these made govt employees manipulate the voters to vote for cong during elections ( 2004 was when EVM's were introduced, govt employees on duty made voters to press cong sign and played a major role in his defeat)

I say good thing he was kicked out,he learned a valuable lesson & will not ignore rural areas this day

KCR may go on fast if Section 8 is invoked - The Hindu
Updated: June 23, 2015 13:46 IS
Highly-placed sources in the Chief Minister’s office told The Hindu on Tuesday that Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao termed the move, as a question of ‘self respect’ of people of Telangana. “If Centre insists on taking away the law and order powers of Telangana, I will launch a fast in New Delhi,” he told a meeting late on Monday night.

At a meeting with Chief Secretary Rajiv Sharma and officials of the Chief Minister’s office, Mr. Rao is said to have expressed strong displeasure on the proposals .

“I will not keep quiet, if such a decision is taken by the Centre. I will write to all the Chief Ministers in the country and seek their support on the issue. I will build a national movement on the issue,” he was quoted as telling the officials.

The Chief Minister reportedly questioned whether in a federal system, the Centre could take away the law and order powers of a duly elected Government.

“We will make an election issue in the Bihar. If states like Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh start demanding new powers in erstwhile Bihar and Madya Pradesh, who will keep quiet,” he remarked in the meeting.

Mr. Rao, sources said, made it clear that during his meeting with the Governor later in the day, he would tell in no uncertain terms that such a proposal was not acceptable to the Telangana Government.

It may be mentioned here that Attorney General is believed to have communicated to the Governor his opinion over invocation of Section 8 of AP Reorganisation Act.

As per Section 8 of the A.P. Reorganisation Act, the responsibility of the Governor shall extend to matters such as law and order and internal security in the common capital area.

The section also specifies that in ‘discharge’ of the functions, the Governor shall, after consulting the Council of Ministers of the State of Telangana, exercise his individual judgement as to the action to be taken.
 
It is about to divide Uttar Pradesh in four manageable states. UP has more people than Pakistan.

Not going to happen under BJP. They were only supporting Telangana.

Though ideally UP needs to be divided into 3 states and Vidharba needs to be created. These are the last state demands in India.

I dont think Government is having plans like that and if needed then it Parliament will decide and there is a process for it.
