hi ramanath, its not about having a better or worse mentality. I have observed that south states' CMs have this tendency of "lets grow our state first, the country will gain automatically".. this is a different approach but makes sense, and has worked well too, however in doing so some politicians go the extent of becoming too state oriented and giving speeches which are essentially anti other-states, and the followers of the govt which has actually done wonders for those states actually start having that feeling. I feel lot of problems between south states, for eg tamil nadu and karnataka have been made worse by politicians. Karunanidhi's statement tht project is being stopped to stall Tamil Nadus progress is just an example of how he tried to create a feeling of insecurity and "everyone hates us" within the ppl of tamil nadu
