Twice the size, almost 75% more people with Bombay with them (Almost 75% of Corporate income tax gets filed from there), still only marginally better ?

You should first learn your stuff before comparing apples to Oranges. The state has Bombay and double the population and large land area, and still only manages only better. This is NOT a message for success. This is a message of FAILURE.

Do you know what Is Maharashtra's debt under 15 years of Congress rule? With just barely higher investment than Gujarat, their debt is 2.76 Lakh Crores. Highest in India. And this despite  a friendly administration at the centre for the past 10 years. Even their per capita debt is almost equivalent to Gujarat. 

Please stop making fool of yourself.

Alas, we are long past these discussions. Fact of the matter is that the alternatives are infinitely worse. Best to reconcile to a Modi sarkar and hope the economy gets back on track.

The feet-dragging, policy paralysis and deathly silence in response to all kinds of accusations towards the end became a huge headwind. Rs 150 lac crores of infra projects rotting on J Natarajan's desk and cleared in 3 weeks flat once she was booted out, could have been a fantastic economic stimulus had it come a little earlier, triggering a capex cycle, lifting the infra sector out of the doldrums and boosting bank balancesheets.

Modi is no god, regardless of what mouth-breathing buffoons like Someprofile believe. But at the very least, no glorified bean-counter is likely to tell him off on his policies based on cooked up numbers, the way Vinod Rai harangued MMS.

what does this article & your commentary have to do with anything being discussed in this thread is beyond me. but it's a good tactic tho, throw a bunch of articles to see which one sticks and hope to delude the actual topic being discussed
