Revist Facts on Andhra Pradesh Economic Statistics

There have been lot of comments in various forums stating that Telangana region is being ignored for development. I have not seen any references for the data that was presented. Tried to dig through AP Census website(Refs below) and wanted to publish some FACTS.

There is no denial that one of the most backward districts "Adilabad" is in Telangana, but there are backward districts such as Srikakulam, vijaya nagaram, ananthapoor in "Andhra" and "Rayalaseema" as well. There are some districts like "Ranga Reddy" & "Karimnagar" which have higher growth than many other districts in the state. I have consciously excluded "Hyderabad", "Vizag", CITY_NONE_OF_SEEMA from the list as it is obvious for these.

THIS POST IS NOT TO COMPARE EVERY FACTOR OF DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN DISTRICTS, BUT ONLY TO REVISIT FACTS AND PRESENT THAT BACKWARDNESS IS EVERYWHERE. ALL THE FACTS ARE VERIFIABLE AT REFERENCES BELOW.

There have been many issues before I was not even born, which I cannot go back and change. It does not help if we just keep looking at the past and generate hatred against each other. This era is not for separatist politics. Together we have 2nd wealthiest mine region, have huge reserves of gas, huge reserves of coal, 3rd in overall GSDP, 4th in per capita GSDP.

We have had just enough reasons to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another. Let us find those together.
