Now that the rule of the present government has come to an end. Some people may like to take stock of the positives and negatives of this government impact on Vizag city. let me start with a few

Positives
The initiative of JNURRM (though not specific to vizag and not by the state government)

VIMS

negatives

Absolutely no new big idea (apart from the CU proposal which looks very doubtful now) for vizag unlike the previous goverments Gangavaram port, expansion of airport etc

The big ideas of previous goverment were implemented in much delayed manner - night landing of Airport, increasing the STPI, gangavaram port

Failed to make any big impact on IT scene in Vizag inspite of promises

Failed to replicate the buzz created around Hyderabad by CBN

Volkswagon fiasco

Donation of prime urban land to Satyam which is now a dubious company.

No progress on long standing demands such as railway zone etc

Very slow progress in diverting trains from duvvada to vizag

Up to you guys now to take it forward

It should be noted that both JNURRM and CU are central government proposal and not state government initiatives. For a party which came to power on the plank that CBN developement is Hyd centric the record of their administration seems rather dismal ?
