Rajdeep Sardesai has written about the current social, political and economic situation of Maharashtra and compared it with Bihar in his post Maharashtra: The New Bihar
Rajdeep has compared Maharashtra on several points on which the development of any state may decide. The points are such as-
Poverty ( several districts in Maharashtra are more poor than districts of BIMARU belt),
Unemployment ( the rate of growth of unemployment in Maharashtra has steadily crept up in comparison with Bihar),
Agrarian distress ( Farmers are committing suicide in Maharshtra, not in Bihar),
Economic mismanagement ( Bihar’s treasury may be empty but Maharashtra also not doing well),
Collapsing Infrastructure ( Maharashtra’s roads will ready to resemble with Hema Malini’s cheeks),
Crime ( Mumbai’s underworld poses more threat to people than goons in Bihar).
