The Year 2016 was of hits and flops
for Andhra Pradesh with many disparity in its history. The only significant event
to happen in this year was shifting of the state's administrative operations to
the new Amaravati from Hyderabad. Following many false commence, finally the
Andhra Pradesh Secretariat (temporary) started functioning at Velagapudi
village from this October. The Government's single biggest failure was its
inability to begin the developments of new capital city. The Government has come out with
a series of glorious images of the new capital city, and the year 2016 spent without
finalising a single design for capital city thereby further impeding the construction
activity. Infact the state has achieved a 'double digit' economic growth rate. However,
in reality the state is grappling to make ends meet because of huge revenue
deficit. In the year 2015-16, the state's economy grew at 10.99% and, in the
six months of 2016-17, it was raised up to 12.23%. There were too many cynicism in the state's economic story. The state's revenue proceeds rise to INR 22,800 Crores in the six months of the 2016-17 financial year as INR 20,166 Crores in the corresponding period of last year, resulting 13.05% increase. But the ascend revenue deficit stood at INR 6,641 Crores during the six months of this fiscal has become
daunting. The government estimates an pandemic revenue deficit of INR 4,868 Crores in the year 2016-17 but increased spending has resulted in a vast gap. The demonetisation to cause
a further hollow to its slump economy, with the revenues immerse by 30%. Though the state had topped the list in Ease of Doing Business rankings in the country but it
didn't bring an expected or promised investments and everything are been remained
only 'in the pipeline' thus far. The government claims that close to
INR 4 lakh crores worth investments were to flow into the state in various sectors, going by the number of MoU's signed during the Partnership Summit in
January 2016. But many of those MoUs still remain only on paper. The state couldn't
wangled the promised 'special category state' status and had to settle for a
'special economic package' and still not been 'operationalised'. In the current year the power
sector has been the real induct renown for Andhra Pradesh with the state
ranking on top in energy efficiency in the country. The state power
utilities have won a numerous awards at the national level on different efficiency
criterion even as Andhra Pradesh turned power surplus (over 10,000 million
units) and has also transformed into a 'seller' from a 'purchaser'. On the
political the ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) made itself a stronger by entice as many as 21 out of 67 MLA's of the only YSR Congress.
The Opposition's weakness on all political counts has become the strength
of the ruling party which otherwise started facing rough weather among the
electorate for a diversity of reasons. The Congress is still in the dumps while
the BJP and TDP's partnership in power hasn't gained muscle.
We Taaza Vaartha believe that ''The year
2017 holds out a lot of hope for Andhra Pradesh People as it could
essentially crier the development of their vision capital city''.

The families having children who will shift to Amaravathi will not be having four years of

or other parts of Telangana but also will not have local status of the
residual state of Andhra Pradesh. For this the AP Government asked
the Centre to grant local status to the candidates who migrate to parts of
Andhra Pradesh from Telangana after bifurcation within a term of three years
from the date of bifurcation of State on par with other local candidates.

design for the Andhra Pradesh assembly at Amaravati drawn by international architects
Maki and Associates has sparked off a conjecture that a mega nuclear power
plant is being planned on the right bank of the river Krishna near Vijayawada. The footage of one such debate on a media in Pakistan
was telecast by a Telugu TV channel on Tuesday night. One of the participants
on the Pakistani channel proclaim that a mega city is being constructed in
Andhra Pradesh to manufacture what he called hydrogen bombs. He also accused
the United States of helping Andhra Pradesh in building Amaravati.
Visits of sundry teams from Japan, Singapore and China to Vijayawada has reportedly
created a sort of fear psychosis on the other side of the border over a 'Mega Nuclear City'. En Passant the AP government had rejected the 'dome' design
for the assembly as it favour nuclear towers. The government has asked Maki
and Associates to come out with a new design.
