Per capita income tripled during Congress rule: Governo

The state is expected to register a growth rate of 5.29 per cent as against the national average of 4.96 per cent during 2012-13 and the per capita income, which was Rs 68,970 in 2011-12, is expected to cross Rs 77,250.

In a joint address to both Houses of the state legislature on the commencement of the budget session on Wednesday, governor ESL Narasimhan listed out the various developmental activities taken up by the Kirn Kumar Reddy government.

He said that despite unfavourable seasonal conditions that prevailed for major part of the 11th five-year plan period and the uncertainty in the global economy, the state could register an average growth rate of 8.18 per cent during the said period. The per capita income tripled in nine years.

“My government intends to continue all the welfare progarmmes that were taken up for implementation in the last five years and the new  initiatives.”

Narasimhan said that the government was committed to getting national project status for the Polavaram and Pranahita-Chevella irrigation projects. With regard to power, he said, APGenco will add 2,200 MW  capacity in 12 months and 1,000 MW by the private sector.

Noting that the Rs 14,1312-crore worth Hyderabad Metro rail was going on a brisk pace, he said the Nagloe-Mettuguda corridor was expected to be completed by December next year, well ahead of the schedule. The first phase of Godavari drinking water scheme to supply 172 MGD to Hyderabad is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

On the industrial front, the government expects around Rs 30,000 crore of investments, with a potential to generate employment for six lakh persons, in the two National Investment Manufacturing Zones (NIMZs) proposed in Chittoor and Medak districts.

The governor said that the government exhibited no leniency to  terrorists.

The Governor should know income not tripled... it is only increase in currency .... production not increased... goods and services not increased ... it is only increase in currency number... five years back we purchased one dozen bananas at Rs 15/- and now we are buying the same one dozen bananas at Rs.50/- most probably the Governor thought this as increased income. The Governor should know one dozen bananas being the same clearly it is the increase in currency... Governments and Politicians are always thinks people as bakras only that is the difficulty. So considering the people as Bakras they do ruling which means looting.. Government by increasing the prices... thinks that increase as growth what a wonderful Government this??? we should all pray Lord Shiva to happen that all currency should disappear from this world and all Gold should turn into water for ever in this world ... so that without any disaster this Planet Earth can be saved from these looters
