No Active Resistance To Government!

No Active Resistance To Government!

Within months of coming to power, there have been two major issues in Andhra Pradesh which any sensible opposition Party could have easily cashed in on!

They relate to the ‘loan waiver’ scheme of the TDP which is yet to be implemented and the controversial ‘land pooling scheme’.

While the YSRCP initially made some noise about the ‘loan waiver’ scheme, it has subsequently put up only a lukewarm resistance to the government policies.

As for the ‘land pooling’ scheme, the aggrieved farmers are more or less fighting their battle alone.

No one from the Opposition Parties is seen mobilizing the farmers to question the government apart from just restricting themselves to condemning the move in ‘press meetings’.

In fact both Jagan and the Congress by taking up the cause of the farmers can earn an incredible amount of goodwill across the State and even in Telangana where three farmers on an average are committing suicide every day.

But Jagan who was accused of remaining a mute spectator to the bifurcation of the State after coming out on bail is probably toeing the same line in the ‘land pooling’ issue.

In fact his father, YSR was a huge favorite among farmers unlike Chandrababu whose developmental activities were seen as detrimental to the interests of the farming community.

Today, the mention of the ‘Congress’ in AP brings to mind only Chiranjeevi. So, the lesser said about this Party, the better! But surely, the YSRCP is in a position to ensure justice to the ryots.

If the YSRCP can mobilise the Opposition in support of the farming community, it would go a long way towards enhancing their credibility among the public.

Otherwise, Naidu will just run riot with his personal agenda directed at the betterment of his already super-rich community, in the guise of development and welfare.
