He even went on to say that AP Portal is active for quite some time and there are already 9000 transactions on the portal while Telangana portal did not have a payment gateway and not even a single transaction is carried out there. He ridiculed Telangana IT Minister’s claim by saying why a state in Top rank will follow another state placed in 13th rank.
He went on to say Andhra Pradesh government will challenge these decisions where Telangana government claimed. He also found fault with Telangana IT Minister, K Taraka Ramarao writing a letter to the Center about data theft. Parakala said KTR acted too Childish for a trivial matter. Last year, Andhra Pradesh was ranked second after Gujarat while Telangana is ranked 13th in terms of Ease of Business. KTR alleged that Andhra Pradesh government has copied some of the applications of its TS-iPASS. He alleged that some states (Read as AP) are resorting to malpractices for rankings.
