Lilo garu,

That's asking for the cake, eat it and demanding the cake is made by locals...

Looks like the temporary strategy is to
- get foreign FDI to start power plants under civil nuke deal (so Zero financial cost to GoI)
- get quick Time to Market (2-3yrs?)
- solve immediate power gen issues.

This is different from long term energy security.

My idea of a Capital City!

In my opinion, our Capital City must reflect our Telugu culture and ethos, who we are as people, what we wish to become and the path we choose to become that.

Keeping in mind the unique financial situation and revenue limitations that has been thrust upon us by the untimely division of the State, it is our responsibility to unite and face the obstacles of building a new capital city with courage, without losing hope and sight of the bright future ahead of us.

I’d like to share some of the issues that we’d take into consideration before finalizing the Capital City:

• Accessibility: Must be conveniently located and accessible to everyone.
• Resources: Plenty of water resources to support the high density population that will reside.
• Revenue Generation: The Capital simply cannot be an administrative headquarters. It must be a revenue generation centre.
• Decentralized Development Model: We will not relegate development to one City. We will develop multiple cities on par with the Capital.
• Brand Identity: The Capital will stand for all the values and virtues that we Telugus stand for. It will be founded on the pillars of Telugu pride.
• Industrial growth: Attracting a multitude of industries will be one of the top priorities of our Government.
• Infrastructure: Getting in the needed investments is crucial to build the City’s infrastructure that positively impact services used by residents, guests and employees.

Let all of us together march on relentlessly to achieve a great state with a great capital City and many other smart & mega cities.

May God bless us with strength and give wings to our aspirations!

Lilo and RamaY: what are the lead times for NYC power plant? I don't think even in US they San get things online in 2-3 years. My WAG is 10 yrs. what Lilo is proposing will have even longer lead times. May be solutions line in the movie "Swadesh" - big exactly same but more solar and wind will work. These can be rolling release projects iow services can be expanded in small steps continuously as time goes by.

UMPPs (either Thermal or Nuclear) are for meeting the projected baseload demand - which solar/wind can never meet.

Eenadu reporting that Chandrababu Naidu spoke with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to establish IT park in AP and reportedly got positive response. Anantapur-Chitoor corridor identified for IT/Software/hardware park. The place was identified because of their ideal location. Anathapur is close to Bangalore and Chittor is in middle of Bangalore-Chennai highway.

CBN also reportedly asked roads & buildings department to draw up a plan for a 4 lane "Great Ocean Road" connecting Bhuvaneshwar to Chennai via Coastal Andhra (Bhuvaneshwar-Srikakulam-Visakhapatnam-Rajamundry-Vijayawada-Guntur-Nellore-Chennai) connecting all ports with the highway.

According to this article, the division is effecting Telangana's commerce and industry field and so far 800 companies have shifted their registered offices to Andhra Pradesh. While its common to shift offices to other states, shifting so many offices at the same time is rare.The reasons for shifting are identified as some of them are shifting for emotional reasons (Companies who have units in AP but registered in Hyderabad/Telangana want to pay tax in AP so that they can help their state) and others because of Business logic (Encouraging environment, favorable tax policies, Special category status etc). Majority of them who are shifting are Small Industries.Along with companies shifting their offices from Telangana to AP, the article also says that new companies are being established rapidly in AP. So far 75 companies have been established since June 2nd when the state is officially divided. Correspondingly in Telangana only 1 company was established in the same period.

Meanwhile, KCR’s Muslim reservation card will divide newborn Telangana

After taking the reigns of Telangana, TRS is in a hurry to implement 12 per cent reservation for Muslims in jobs and education, a promise the K Chandrasekhar Rao-led party made in its election manifesto.

“TRS Government will provide 12 per cent reservation to Muslims in Telangana on the lines of Tamil Nadu,” party leader and KCR’s daughter K Kavitha told a national newspaper.

Before analysing the TRS Government’s proposed reservation for Muslims, let us quickly flip through the history of communal reservation in Andhra Pradesh. It was in 2005 that YS Rajasekhara Reddy, the then Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, sought to provide 5 per cent reservation in public employment and educational institutions. The move was however spiked by the Andhra Pradesh High Court.

Let’s take a look at the Tamil Nadu model of reservation, which Kavitha has all the praise for. Though Indian Constitution states that the quota limit should not exceed 50 per cent, Tamil Nadu extended the reservation limit to 69 per cent through the provisions of legislature. The law is under litigation of the Supreme Court. Both the ruling AIADMK and the Opposition DMK bat for the dangerous quota model to cultivate their respective vote-bank.

In 2007, it was the then Karunanidhi Government in Tamil Nadu which enacted a law granting 3.5 per cent reservation to Muslims and Christians each in education and employment within the existing 30 per cent quota meant for the backward castes. At that time, the Jayalaitha-led AIADMK was silently supporting the move. After riding to power, it was the Jayalalithaa Government which ordered that the 69 per cent reservation will continue without elimination of the creamy layer.

It is not just Tamil Nadu that provides reservations for minorities. Kerala has 12 per cent reservation for Muslims whereas West Bengal has 10 per cent reservations for Muslims.

Now the TRS Government is trying to apply such a dubious model in the newly-formed State of Telengana. By bringing Muslim reservation to the top of its agenda, the K Chandrasekhar Rao Government has made its intentions clear — it can’t think of development for all and is committed to tired old Congress-style dole politics.

Talking to Niti Central, BJP general secretary P Muralidhar Rao said, “By proposing reservations for Muslims, the TRS is engaging in the same kind of vote-bank politics that the Congress and its ‘secular’ cohorts have practised and which the nation has already rejected. I am sure such a proposal will not pass the scrutiny of law.”

“Now, the TRS is hobnobbing with blatantly communal Asaduddin Owaisi-led MIM. This speaks volumes about KCR’s communal agenda. He wants to divide Telengana on communal lines,” Rao said.

The TRS chief’s communal appeasement politics will certainly backfire against him politically given the fact that being the Chief Minister of a newly-formed State, K Chandrasekhar Rao is playing with fire. This move will certainly lead to polarisation in the new State which is struggling to come to terms with its new-found existence.

Andhra Pradesh capital in Skyscrapers

The new capital of Andhra Pradesh will have skyscrapers with important offices like the Secretariat, Assembly, High Court and commissionerates located in close vicinity.

Sources said high-rises are being planned to reduce land acquisition for the capital. Since there were apprehensions that there will be large-scale land acquisition that could result in thousands of farmers being uprooted from their high-productivity yielding lands, the government plans to dispel this notion and also go for vertical development.

Depending upon the land availability for the capital city, a policy would be brought out on the maximum height of the high-rise buildings.

Now tv9 and Abn andhra jyothi have been blocked in Telangana as KCR has been offended by a program. The channels were stopped on Sunday evening

It seems he was offended by "bullet news" on TV9 a funny political satire program. The program made fun of everybody including CBN, JAgan, and everybody. It was a funny show and the anchor lady was funny and active. I suspected that something was wrong as the program did not air on friday. The channel has also apologized already for any offence, but it seems KCR and party was still not satisfied

See first post of this page. TRS was doing this from the start. KCR abused NM very badly during elections to get peaceful votes and prevent BJP gains. They are widely reported and I am sure local BJP fellows would have carried them to NM. Now for KCR to get anyhing from BJP for Telangana will become difficult. Further T budget is surplus one. It would be difficult to justify package with such condition.

Polavaram will be opposed tooth and nail by KCR and his naxal/jhola frinds. KCR will be in agitation mode for the next 5 years and it will be fun to see how things develop. Since financially there is no problem he need not work much in adminstration side.

Fake movement was supported by the Union government and also by INC and BJP and they split the state. This fake country doesn't deserve any citizen protections. Control media and control people and damn the democracy and country.

- Besides this media banning drama, new definitions of citizenship are given like below. Now we need to urge BJP to pass those laws with video-feed cut.

* You're Telangana person only if you and BOTH of your parents are born in Telangana. So if you want to have Telangana citizenship for your child, you may want to consider having sex in Telangana only.

Congress’ death wish in Andhra Pradesh
Kingshuk Nag
18 September 2012, 08:07 PM IST

The Congress party wants to return to power in 2014 and for that it needs to do well in Andhra Pradesh. But that’s the problem: the state has gone out of the hands of the Congress. Well, the state is still under Congress rule and Kiran Kumar Reddy is trying his best: by hopping from one place to another, spending time with villagers handing over various sops to retrieve the lost Congress. But his efforts are not good enough. Anybody who knows anything about the state of Andhra Pradesh knows that the Congress party has lost this ‘Indiramma rajyam’.

In Andhra region, the writ of Jagan runs –even though he may be languishing in Hyderabad’s Chanchalguda jail. And inTelangana, nobody’s writ may be running but Congress is on the fast track to disintegration. Though the denizens of Telangana may not be voluble about their demand for a separate state, the sentiment runs deep. In fact it is so deep that even Jagan cannot surmount the T factor and even the fifteen ministers from the region (including the deputy chief minister) are charged enough to write to Sonia with their demands.

With the Congress being seen dilly dallying on the separate statehood demand (after announcing it officially on December 9, 2009), the party will be decimated in the next election in the region if Telangana state is not created by then.

But under pressure from the Andhra lobby –especially the industrialists hailing from there double timing as politicians – the Congress party is unable to go ahead with announcement of T state. So in return they have (the latest statement is from the home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde) raised the ruse of Telangana becoming a Maoist dominated state if it is created. Other arguments – of course not expressed explicitly- include that it will fall under ISI control. Reason: Muslims will be a higher proportion of T’s population than it is in Andhra Pradesh. “How absurd can you be? Even the Vishwa Hindu Parishad will not come up with these arguments,” says a Muslim Congressman.

Sensing the Congress dilemma, the other contender for power in the 2014 elections – the BJP has already begun to go for the kill. The three day fast organized in Delhi’s Jantar Mantar by the state BJP unit and other protests in the Capital city recently is an example of this.

What is more, changes are happening below the surface. Anyone familiar with the politics is aware of the caste basis of AP politics. The Congress party’s predominant position till now is based on the long standing support from the Reddy community. But now the Reddys have begun to desert the party. In the Andhra region (includes Andhra and Rayalaseema), they have shifted their loyalty lock, stock and barrel to Jagan’s YSR Congress. Evidence of this came in the recent by-polls to the assembly that was swept by YSR Congress. In Telangana region, they are now slowly drifting to the BJP. The BJP which barely has any presence inAP and support of no major castes will work actively to ramp support from the Reddys of T, to build a credible party organization in T region.

Over smart Congress managers in Delhi – many of whom are rootless wonders – argue that there is no problem for the party in Andhra Pradesh. “We will do a deal with Jagan and his MPs will support us to form a government in Delhi in 2014. After all he is a Christian he won’t be able to support a Hindutva formation to form a government,” a senior Congress neta told me.

But it cannot be as simple as that. Jagan will extract his pound of flesh before agreeing to support the Congress in 2014. Obviously this ‘support’ can be sort only after the results of the election are announced. Jagan will never agree to a pre- election deal because that will make his liable to the danger of being dubbed as Congress agent by TDP’s Chandrababu Naidu. “Both Jagan and Naidu will be seeking the anti -incumbency votes in 2014. Logic dictates that Jagan cannot be seen as even having an informal agreement with the Congress,” a political analyst said. Morever Jagan would like to be part of a third front which might also be a suitor for the gaddi in New Delhi.Thus it cannot be taken for granted that he will support a Congress formation at the Centre in 2014.

‘There’s nothing to worry’ Congress manager from Delhi says that the party will manage to do well in Telangana by doing a deal with the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS). “You know KCR is even ready to merge his party with the Congress,” he says. KCR is mum and is not saying whether this is true or not. But the problem is that KCR may agree to merge his party into Congress provided that he is made the boss of the Congress in Telangana and if only Telangana state is created. (He might play ball if an announcement is made and concrete steps are taken to make the state a reality). “This is precisely the point on which the Congress high command is unable to decide with pushes and pulls from both sides,” political analysts point out.

In the absence of a decision, the Congress managers are proposing a separate T council with a chairman (who will obviously be a Congressman) and huge resources to develop the region. Also the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh will be a T-man. This, aver the managers will be enough to solve the T imbroglio. But this is a case of too little too late. With no evidence on the ground as yet on the T matter, the Congress seems to be consumed with a death wish in Andhra Pradesh.

Lilo: My post was not very clear. What I am questioning is the 2-3 year time frame - especially for nuclear plants. May be you have more information on the time frame. I don't know for sure but my educated guess is that it would take 4-5 years or longer to implement a medium-to-large power plant. What I am proposing is that now AP is a state with tabula rasa, they have a great chance to build inra after having learnt from mistakes that have been made in the past (especially CBN himself where he put all his eggs in Hyderabad and starved other cities). Agreed that in near future (and may be even for a long time) wind/solar are not suitable for base load but one has to start somewhere. What I am proposing is that while the plans for base load plants are being put in motion, it might be a good idea to judiciously throw in some alternate forms of energy as well - eg. solar especially in rAyala seema districts - for at least some temporary relief. Would I be wrong in guessing that these can be setup in phased fashion a few villages at a time and integrate into the power grid?

The drama of Reddy EJ of having Hindu names and pretending to be Hindus all the while doing EJ bidding is the main issue. Cripto EJ activities happening in AP and in many other places are to be exposted. Take for example Nagma - Contested on mafia ticket in UP showing her self as Muslim with her name etc, but is EJ.

In a way AP and India conditions are same. Serious financial mess, Powerful EJ lobby with freebee, loot and distribute ideas, serious need for reconstruction etc. CBN can not be compared with NM but has no other option but to follow development path and forced to be Indic as EJ and peaceful voters are now with Jagan and he badly needs Dharmic forces support. He has learned his lesson( I hope). Huge re-conversion task awaits dharmics in AP and need to be undertaken immediately. AP endowments department now with BJP has to take this task.

KCR creation of a Neo Nizam rule in T will pose a serious security challenge to Indic nation. Naxals, neo- razakars and peaceful pakis ( some 30k people live without any valid visa in old city) now have full freedom to operate. Only hope is the people of T who have long history of fighting the Nizam oppression and will be defending the nation as before. BJP and other forces as before will be acting as protectors of people in Hyderabad and other areas. Bhajrang dal work as and when peaceful show their colors. I hope it is not back to good old days of curfews etc. But I fear it may be.

IIT, IIM, AIIMS among institutes to come up in AP, efforts on to begin sessions

Indian Institute of Technology, Indian Institute of Management, All-India Institute of Medical Sciences and Central University are among major institutions, varsities and centres of excellence to be set up in Andhra Pradesh with the Central Government’s support.

The newly formed Andhra Pradesh Government has begun identifying land required to set up these institutions and other infrastructure in the three circuits of Tirupati, the Krishna-Guntur region and Visakhaptanam, Ganta Srinivasa Rao, State Minister for Human Resources Development, said.

Speaking to newspersons after assuming office at the State Secretariat here today, he said, “A meeting held with State Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has decided to begin academic sessions early from makeshift premises till such time as the infrastructure required for these projects gets created.”

He said it was decided to locate an IIT, NIT, IIIT, IIM, IIS Education Research, AIIMs, Central University, Tribal University, Agriculture University and the National Institute of Disaster Management, in clusters based on the availability of infrastructure, connectivity and human resources in these areas.

Accordingly, the State Ministry of Urban Development has been entrusted the task of identifying land for these institutes. The port city of Vizag, which would be developed as financial hub, will have an IIM, IIIT, a tribal varsity and an Institute of Petroleum. It was decided that Vizag would be an ideal location for a petroleum institute as the PCPIR (Petroleum, Chemical and Petrochemical Investment Region) is coming up in the costal region there and HPCL is a major player.

It is proposed to set up an AIIMS, NIT, NIDM and Agriculture University in the Krishna-Guntur area. And Tirupati would host a Central University, IISCR and IIT. Each of the three circuits would have about 1,000 acres initially, with a proposal to increase it by another 1,000 acres.

Referring to fee reimbursement issue, he said, “The Government will ensure that students do not suffer due to division of the State. The modalities were being worked out.”

Nativity rule might spell trouble in admissions in Telangana

Tinkering with the ‘local candidate’ rules, however difficult it may be, could lead to a lot of repercussions affecting all “local” Andhra students in Telangana and vice-versa. Many feel that while it is logical in a way on the part of the Telangana government to state that it will only pay for its students, any move to disqualify Andhra students from being ‘locals’ will make them ‘non-locals’ in both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. This could affect their academic prospects in a big way. The same holds true for about half the number of Telangana students in Andhra Pradesh as well.

Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao had told colleagues from all parties that a suitable nativity definition should be worked out so that only Telangana students benefit from the fee reimbursement scheme. The Telangana government had made it clear that it would pay only for Telangana students and not for ‘local’ Andhra students.

If Andhra students are made ineligible for the fee reimbursement scheme by making them ‘non-local’, effected by a change in the nativity definition, they will become ‘non-local’ in both states, drastically affecting their ability to choose seats in reputed colleges as ‘local’ students.
“The guidelines are yet to be finalised. But if domicile status is taken, it will disqualify many Andhra students. But it will not be limited to just Andhra students. The Andhra government will also probably respond in a similar way and Telangana students will also be affected,” a senior higher education department official said.

Dr P. Madhusudhan Reddy, general secretary of Telangana government junior lecturers’ association, said, “I am welcoming the decision of both governments to pay for their respective students. This is the right decision and it is not something new. If they start paying for everyone now, ultimately, they have to continue paying for 14 years. According to me, the Eamcet rank card is the criteria for determining the status.”

The nativity clause is a unique feature restricted to just Andhra Pradesh under Article 371D of the Constitution and as prescribed under the Presidential Order.
