Do you agree that "good politics is good economics" like it is emphasized in the Hindutva scheme of things in India?

In March 2024, UP state generated more GST revenue than TN. This is indeed a remarkable achievement considering UP was always considered as ‘bimaru’ state infested with crime, lawlessness, corruption and nepotism.

This March 2024 GST data may be just a flash in the pan because TN developed its industry over the last 4-5 decades and hence still way ahead of UP. TN is a powerhouse in education, both elementary and higher education like engineering and medical. TN is way ahead of UP in terms of gross state national product (GSNP). TN’s population is half than UP as it has 39 Lok Sabha seats as compared to 80 in UP. So, it is not a case to worry about.

But seeing spectacular improvement in law and order in UP, business sentiment is bound to improve there. DMK politicians should now stop abusing northern ‘bimaru’ states as ‘gomutra’ or ‘cow belt’ states as election phase in TN is over.

The overall success of UP in last 6 years is another example of ‘Modi hai toh mumkin hai’. Now Modi should focus on ‘bimaru’ states Bihar and Bengal. Since childhood I am hearing that ‘everything does wrong in Bihar and Bengal’ and these two states are economic sinkhole in India which warrant a permanent solution.
