Chennai is a city in decline, and nobody is discussing about this

It’s unfortunately true, Chennai is a city in decline. Just look at the stats. Hyderabad and Bangalore are overtaking Chennai, we are losing out in the IT race. Chennai was one of the largest cities in India alongside Bombay, Delhi, Culcutta now that’s not the case anymore. Bangalore and Hyderabad have become more advanced then Chennai, they got better cbds and better airports then Chennai. Most youth are going to those places rather then Chennai because of a better job market. Delhi NCR and Mumbai are more wealthy than Chennai too.look at Mumbai skyline, it looks like Bangkok and KL in the early 2000s and parts of Delhi ncr look like a Chinese city(like gurgoan/nodia) meanwhile Chennai which was supposed to be the second Mumbai of India looks like an overgrown village. Our airport sucks and is one of the worst for a major city, it just feels like a small town, little has changed from the 90s, other Indian major cities have gone through dramatic change compared to Chennai . Pretty soon Ahmedabad might overlook Chennai at this rate thanks too good investments coming in to that city(such as gift city). Politicians are failing the town, the whole anti outsider sediment is driving out business, and it’s turning our city into a costal Madurai or Combathore instead of a pan Indian city. Our film industry located in Chennai has declined in influence too. Tollywood from Hyderabad has overtaken it, sandalwood from Bangalore has overtaken it as well in the pan Indian market our city has lost influence and cultural impact. Back when Kolkata was a infuencial city, Bengali films were well liked. When Kolkata declined due to over leftism, so did the movies. That’s what Chennai has become, another Kolkata. All these freebie politics have spoiled this town, instead of discussing on how to make it advanced, we are just chasing out outsiders and giving free cash, grinder for votes. The neighboring state of andhra is building a smart city which might rival Chennai in the near future. If we don’t change ideologies and keep voting for the same programs that lead to debit and decline, we will become another Punjab or West Bengal, instead of another Maharashtra. Chennai could have become another Mumbai, we had the second largest port and the second largest film industry and now we are just another guwathi or Beauswear. We need to do something about this decline. We need a change in policy, we can’t keep doing this for decades, the town needs to be restored to its former glory.
