i assume u agree that AP is not so good in IT/software/BPO. Bihar doesnt have electricity lines, poor state man!! we have electricity lines but no electricity!! ha ha ha ha!! having said that. Bihar man: lets talk of old bihar (now bihar+jharkhand) : u forgot the presence of Tatas and XLRI, its well known for mining, ex: ISM dhanbad and they have a presence in leather and other industries. ((what we see in news is only goondda-ism.if what happens in cuddapah and krishna and guntur are projected on TV, people will start calling AP and Bihar are similar. forget those issues)). Take this, most IASofficers come from UP and Bihar !! y are u considering only software? talk abt all the industries. its only that south has choosen to be in the software sector and north has choosen to be in other sectors............maybe 20 yrs later, when third class jobs i.e., BPO and IT services jobs becomes not-so hot, may be then: u will realize that AP is not actually developing.........i would classify anything other than development and design as third class, hence wipro, infosys, tcs, satyam fall in this third class category (TI or Cisco or Novell or Lucent or SAS etc as good companies) and how many of the good companies are in HYD? hardly any !! and thats laughable when Naidu talks of tech revolution in the state !! u will immediately come up with MS and Oracle, where again these offices do not exactly do development work!! These jobs, BPO/servies etc can one day be shifted to interior Bihar when Lallo puts up an electricity line powered by the coal fileds of Dhanbad (its costly to work in HYD, Blore, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai u see....cost cutting measures........be`es hazaar kaiko rey, Humara Bitwaa paanch hazaar mein kaam karega, pha`tak se !! then u sit and complain that Bihar is pulling off ur jobs from the metros, just as US is complaining that India is taking its jobs)(and Laloo can hire Deveshwar of ITC or Phanendra of Infosys or Banga of HLL and as advisors and venture into IT-parks, no-big deal, i guess UP is already doing that) but Tata and the industries wont come to AP when they have already set up there!!
