Boss I know the poverty level of AP, Karnataka and Orissa also...Am a computer scientist and have done several govt of India projects where all these statistics were necessary...and I have all statistics with me...I am not throwing words like you...I have 5 year statistics with me...You pointed out AP is developing fast...Do you know as of today kolkata is developing more? Do you know how many people of Karnataka is below poverty level...Don't say bullshits like "my state or southern India"...I myself were previously staying at hyd and now staying at B'lore...so what? TRUTH IS TRUTH...Have you ever visited Orossa? Do you know the poverty level of the state? Better before acting smart - "have proper details"...Ans no feelings like north, south, East, West...Why you people always have feeling about south? Mind that Statistics doesn't depend upon feelings...Lastly what you have said has no relevance with the topic of discussion...Do you understand that? Its not a tussle...Its comparison...healthy...Do know know the meaning of that?
