Land is not the main impediment for industrialization Mr Rao, it’s the government

Port of Singapore - This tiny city state is an economic miracle

"We have 5 lakh acres of readily usable land with us. Very shortly, we will be coming with new industrial policy which will be really inspiring. The new state of Telangana requires blessing of people like Ratan Tata. We welcome the corporate and industries from across the country and globe to set up industries here," Telangana CM K Chandrashekhar Rao said.

It is true that, government is the biggest landholder. Still I wonder from where Telangana government got that much land; that also readily usable. However, land is not the major problem in industrialization. If that was the case Singapore (smaller than Bangalore city), Taiwan, Hong Kong etc won’t be present in any economical map.

Telangana really need the blessings of Ratan Tata and other business leaders. But business executives won’t invest in areas suffering the burden of heavy government, insensitive and red tape bureaucracy. Will Telangana be able to offer something different?

Last but not the least, I don’t want to see a land scam in Telangana…
