Rohit, All the politians are more or less same but the fact is that maharashtrian leaders are any day better than our Lalus and Mayavatis...but again my opinion is that politians are reflection of our society. To improve the politics we have to improve ourselves. Its not just mumbai, ask any punjabi or gujarati or even delhite, they dont have good opinion about UP and BIHAR. When you talk about natural advantages, perhaps UP and Bihar are richer than any other states in terms of natural resources. The main problem is attitude of the people. The environment in our states is not good for industries. Latest example...we know what happen with reliance. People may come up with several reasons but the message that is passed on to industry is that the environment is not good for businesses.
