It’s heartening to see the pouring revenue in months old Baby state, Andhra Pradesh, of late, through cinema and spiritual pilgrimage. The Telugu habitants die for movies and visit Tirupati after birth. Celebration means cinema and pilgrimage means Tirupati, where most of per capita income is spent.
The Karma principle of “You get
back something from whatever you've put into it. The value of something is the
direct result of the energy and intent that is put into it”, seems working in
Andhra. Bahubali is raking moolah, Tollywood has never seen before with a
straight cut of almost 1/5th into states treasury as entertainment
tax and on the other side Godavari Pushkaraalu fuming the vicious circle of
economy, from small street vendors to state run transport. These are first few drops of monsoon on the
barren economy of baby AP.
The state bifurcation has been a
classical example of national and regional political Fiasco. The political
migrations have preceded the distribution of revenues, assets and manpower
between the states. One CM is basking in the glory of lifetime achievement; the
other administrator is struggling to live up to the towering expectations as
high as Cyber city, amidst corruption, law and order and administrative
hassles. The future is equally exciting with what next task for political
outfits like Jana Sena and Loksatta; the only two appear to be honest at this
moment.
Coming back to economic front, hope
and pray for more extravagant revenue streams as magnanimous as Bahubali and as
large as Godari to build a new shelter for baby AP as beautiful as Mahishmati!
