The Telangana government on Tuesday lodged a complaint with the Cyber Crime Police stating that the Andhra Pradesh government had resorted to stealing of its data supplied to the Centre for securing ranks on “Ease of Doing Business.”Telangana IT minister K T Rama Rao also wrote a letter to Union minister Nirmala Sitaraman seeking her intervention in this regard.“It is unethical and unfair to copy our information to get good ranking in EoDB,” KTR said in the letter.
Gujarat secured the first rank, followed by AP. Telangana stood 13th in EoDB rankings given by the World Bank to judge investment-friendly nature of the states.Telangana, which has been trying hard for the last one year to get good ranking in EoDB, was shocked over the ‘plagiarism’ resorted to by the AP government.The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion had set June 30 as the deadline for uploading data for securing ranks in the Ease of Doing Business and Telangana government submitted its data before the deadline.
However, AP sought some more time and uploaded the data on July 1 and 2.Inquires revealed that the AP government officials just copied and pasted the data of the Telangana government, including spelling mistakes and reference numbers.KTR said this was a shamless act of the Naidu government and urged the Centre to take necessary action.
