Telangana has left behind statehood uncertainties with 8,000 firms, including global majors, investing there. Question is, can KCR & Co. beat anti-incumbency?

Whataboutery apart, dynastic politics as an issue has caught on in Telangana ahead of 7 December assembly polls, with speculation doing the rounds that Chandrasekhar Rao or KCR as he is popularly known, is preparing to pass on the baton to his son.

If Chandrababu Naidu was once called the CEO of united Andhra Pradesh, KTR is now being described as the CEO of Telangana.

Andhra Pradesh topped the ease-of-doing-business ranking this year but Telangana came a close second. It’s a commendable achievement for a state after the tumultuous 2009-14 period when violent agitations for statehood had shaken the confidence of potential investors.
