A predominantly agriculture area is now converted into an independent state much against their wish. The people fear huge unemployment. Agriculture prosperity in state of Punjab has not provided jobs locally. Capital and enterprising nature of Marwaris has done little in their state of Rajasthan. In this background, will Andhra with plethora of welfare schemes and huge revenue gap become a sick state and join BEMARU states of India?

urgent.

guarantees and start-ups with risk capital.

8. Prioritize with four baskets
 Urgent but not important: address employee
problems arising out of division.
 Important but not urgent: declare 5 years
moratorium on subsidies, freebies, loan write-offs
 Neither important nor urgent: starting state
corporations based on those that existed in
combined state.
 Important and urgent: usher a new culture of
governance with room for initiatives by all
stakeholders.

( which no outsider can airdrop)

business’.
 Ensure lifeline of commercial credit and power to
all MSME units.
 Create silicon valley of start-ups in all trading
towns in partnership with NRIs.
