The UPA government seems to have used high-school drop outs while framing the ‘AP Reorganization Act’ because many sections of the act clearly make no sense at all. Now one by one as such glaring mistakes comes to the fore, the worries of AP only seems to be growing.

For example, the Act had stated that while the assets of Telangana and AP would be divided on a geographical basis, the liabilities would actually be divided based on population ratio of AP and Telangana.This is nothing but gross injustice best illustrated by a clear example.

In case the assets of RTC are Rs 2000 crore and 80% of them are based in Telangana, then AP would be getting only remaining 20% of the assets. But if RTC has losses of more than Rs 1000 crore, then on population basis, Telangana will have bear the burden of only 48% where as AP would be bearing the burden for 52%.

Sources say that in this regard, Chandrababu Naidu has reportedly written a letter to the Union Home Ministry over this issue and the Home Ministry seems to have supported AP’s stand and assured to redress the issue. This is being seen as a first such victory for AP when it comes to amending the gross errors in the act.
