A blueprint for future development of Samaikhyandhra

Never make the mistake that was done with Hyderabad. To keep the new state united and prosperous, decentralisation is a must. Telangana was a failed experiment which showed how not to develop a state. 

Kurnool-tirupathi-vijayawada-kakinada-vizag should be joint capital cities. One of them should be the financial capital, one could be the administrative capital, one could be  agricultural, health/educational capital and another could be pharma cum IT capital. Kurnool: administrative capital, tirupathi: health/educational capital, Vijayawada: financial capital, kakinada: agricultural capital, vizag: pharma cum IT capital.

Let there be a quad-core capital with each of the core functioning in sync with others. All the cities should be first connected seamlessly by all means: rail, road and air so that all these 4 capital cities work as one ultra city. They should also have a strong industrial corridor running through 8 core cities with attractive incentives(kurnool, tirupathi, nellore, ongole,Vijayawada, eluru, rajahmundry,kakinada,vizag) which will bring development to all the cities nearby these 4 capital cities. It should be planned in such a way that if any of these cities fails, or goes down, the others can take up the load and compensate.

In a way, there should be a similar strategy to what a "quad-core phone" has: 4 Top Cities together should work as one so that even if one has any problem, others can carry the load(similar to the 4 metros we have for India). And all the main cities in each region like Kurnool, Kadapa, Tirupathi, Nellore, Vijayawada, Eluru, Kakinada, Vizag should be linked with the best future-proof infrastructure by road, rail and air. We know yearly cyclones cause a lot of damage to the coastal regions so we need to upgrade all the connectivity with smart-weather-proof and robust technology, similar to how Japan has adapted to earthquakes that are so common there.
We also need to prove that development doesnt just mean huge skyscrapers or glass facades. Even an agriculture-dependant economy can be developed. All that is needed is proper planning with good financial incentives to both farmers as well as industries.It is going to be tough to keep a balance between agriculture and industry, but it can be done with meticulous planning. And to plan meticulously, projects like ground-water harvesting and managing water resources would be taken up on a war footing, because water is the life line of not just agriculture but also industries. Since Seemandhra is virtually starting now with lots of unused land, this is the time to plan all the major things and the minute details.
We need to identify, improve and integrate: Identify the strengths of each area of the diverse Seemandhra, improve their individual strengths, and integrate them to form a strong state capable of becoming the best in India. Of course there are severely backward areas like Rayalaseema and North Coastal Andhra, and this is how we can bring them on par with other parts of the new state: Identify their strengths and improve them. Their strength may not be in agriculture due to lack of water, but they will have something special in them to capitalize on. We need to find out their hidden skills and promote them.
If the central govt fails to stand up on their promises, there should have been a provision to hit the ctrl+z combination and undo the complete division process.
There has been news that a state cannot be given special status without approval from planning commission. If this is true and if the commission blocks any of the promises, then the central leaders who were behind this division shouldnt be left out free and they should pay the price to the society, from their own pockets. Because they divided the state for their personal gains, so if the division becomes an act of failure, then they need to part with their gains and give away their assets to the people of the newly created state.

Like a chocolate being dangled before a kid, the centre created a hype and then have telangana. The leaders and their supporters may be happy now but they need to realise that congress is a snake under whose hood the state got bifurcated. A goat should never trust the butcher. What happened to the United Andhra Pradesh will happen to Telangana too if the public still keep praising them and get carried away by their speeches. Its not the love for Telangana that Congress created it. It is for their own requirements and their desperation to first defeat and finally gobble up YSJ like how they swallowed PRP. any competitor in their eyes need to be defeated by hook or crook. As long as YSR was there they were safe because he was obedient to the high command and never uttered a word against them. But once he died and his son started making claims to the CM post, it was evident that they cannot win. They dont have anyone as strong as YSJ. YSJ has used the sympathy wave to great effect by using his Odarpu Yatra(Condolence Trip) and is most probably going to win in many more places in Seemandhra this time. Congress on the other hand has no one to counter him. So what they rightfully did was to concentrate on the other region: Telangana, so that they can guarantee themselves some seats by acquiring the other strong party in Telangana: TRS.

The anger over the division should be stored inside and used for constructive purposes. There should be a point-to-point rebuttal of all the statements made by the divisors, and people will never go back with the same feel-good-factor to Hyderabad or Telangana region. You cannot live in a land of the same leaders who called you robbers, looters and demons of the whole region. Now after everything is over, how can the leaders put up a new face and act as if they are gandhians after all the hate-speech that they have made? How can they act as if they can take care of all the immigrants from the land of looters as they have themselves said? The hurt, anger and frustration should be used to build a stronger region which will rival any other region in the country. Let there be a healthy competition between the general public of these two regions and let it finally result in a better India.

I titled this post "Samaikhyandhra" because Telangana and the new state are still a union of 2 Telugu states and none of them can be ignored by calling them only Telangana or only Seemandhra. The blueprint of development of Telangana is already clear, well-defined (with Hyderabad at the perfectly-central point of Telangana) so there is no point in rewinding/revisiting the plans.
