The Andhra State will
be 3,274 square miles larger
than the residuary Madras,
but its population will be
about 40 per cent less.

As the people of new
State will not tolerate any
non-Andhra, they w ill soon
launch a scheme to ‘‘Grow
More Children” to solve
.the under-population prob-
lem and as the State will
be a deficit one, the Centre
will always be ready to
finance such a plan.
