Now that Telangana issue is resolved to an extent, it is now time to look towards the future.
1) We need to build a thriving new city near to the coast in residual Andhra Pradesh that houses the new State Government offices and also new commercial, educational and research establishments. In South India, this new city should be able to rival the existing clusters of Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad metropolitan areas. The size of the local economy will surely support the emergence of such a city. This needs great leadership and entrepreneurial instinct among the local people i.e. the people of residual state of Andhra Pradesh.
2) Hyderabad metropolitan area is ideally suited in terms of geography to house the second capital of India. What it means is some of the central government departments working from New Delhi can be shifted to Hyderabad. This will ensure that a part of the Central Government administrative offices will also work from Hyderabad. This will ensure that people of South India, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Maharashtra and Chattisgarh will find easy proximity to those governance departments instead of traveling all the way to New Delhi. After few decades, we can have a third capital in Kolkata, based on the same logic. This idea should be debated further before we put this into action. Visionary leadership is needed to go further on this idea.
