Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh government has prepared department-wise vision documents for the development of the state in all sectors. These vision documents propose to trigger the state administration into “mission mode” and would be placed in the budget session of the Assembly for discussion.
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday released a white paper on the impact of state reorganisation and listed out the disadvantages, losses incurred by the state due to unscientific and unilateral bifurcation done by the Congress led UPA government which had its own secret agenda. No study was conducted to identify the sectoral losses due to bifurcation and amount of funding.
“It will require Rs 5 crore to build the new capital for Andhra Pradesh. The UPA divided AP but did not find a capital for it. Now, people of different places are seeking their own city to be made the capital. Nowhere else, a division would have taken place without a capital city. Then the Centre constituted a committee to identify suitable locations for a capital city and this committee is doing its job. The government could have left it to the discretion of the new government in the residuary state to take a call on the new capital city,” the Chief Minister said.
Andhra Pradesh has been put at a great disadvantage in terms of finance and sharing of resources by the bifurcation.
“Some of the provisions in the Act have been inserted with a deliberate intention to create friction and conflict between the two successor states and ensure protracted litigation to the detriment of all concerned,” he said.
As per Section 46 (1) of the Act, AP will receive Rs 840 crore less central revenues in 2014-15 financial year on basis of the 13 Finance Commission formula.
