Andhra Pradesh - Farcical Growth

The Anti-Telangana proponents, the so called SeemaAndhra leaders always begin their speech with this statement.
The growth of Andhra Pradesh will suffer, if Telangana becomes a separate state.
Here are few statistics that tell us, how backward the state of Andhra Pradesh has been. What these statistics don’t tell us is the spate of Telangana.

These are few of the important statistics that go into the human development index.

15th Out of 32 states and UT’s on the basis of per-capita income. Rs 26,211 against national average of Rs 25,956 <<2005-2006 figures>>
17th on the basis of vaccination coverage. 46% against the national average of 44% <>
22nd on the basis of Literacy. 63.7% against the national average of 67.6%. this rate is less than J&K <>
12th on the basis of electrification <>

Is this what we need to preserve?
They always talk of TamilNadu, but don’t realize that TamilNadu is a smaller state. (90% of TamilNadu area(130,058 sqKM) = Telangana area(114,840 sqKM)).
Is that not the reason for their development? SMALL is BEAUTIFUL!
