Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday said that indiscriminate bifurcation of the state caused injustice to five crores people and lead to low per capita income.
Naidu at the second day of the district collectors conference here said that Andhra Pradesh has the lowest per capital income in the state, but that doesn't mean that the people are incapable.
'Andhra Pradesh has the lowest per capital income in the southern region and it is not because of the people, but it is due to the result of state bifurcation. The indiscriminate bifurcation caused injustice to five crores people in the state,' Naidu said.
