ease-of-doing-business-andhra-pradesh-ranks-topDepartment of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) has finally announced the Ease of Doing Business (EODB) rankings which were finalized in association with the World Bank in a competition put between all the states in the country. Andhra Pradesh led by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu stood at the First Position along with surplus state Telangana and trumping wealthy states like Gujarat, Tamil Nadu is no joke.

The stats of achieving 98.78% implementation of 340 points Business Reform Action Plan for States/UTs 2015-16 speaks themselves about Andhra Pradesh’s Achievement. But then it has also got a hidden message for the opposition leader, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy who keeps on ridiculing the Chief Minister for not speaking in English.

The message is a writing on the wall. The experience and knowledge matter the most than the so called ability to speak in English or being Young as Jagan would claim as his advantage. With this ranking, Naidu also silenced Telangana IT Minister, KT Rama Rao who alleged copying of Telangana’s Policies for better Ease of Doing Business Rankings.

Central Government totally ignored Telangana’s Complaint in the issue and went on to announce AP as Number One. Telangana is at the Second Position in the list but then there is no celebration from TRS side even though there is a drastic improvement from the last year’s Thirteenth Rank.
