The farmers who gave their lands for 'Amaravathi' have reason to feel aggrieved. They are expressing their anger by not attending the awareness meetings being conducted by the Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA).
“What is the point in attending these meetings? They promise us something and do something completely different,” lamented one farmer.
Isn’t it ironic that a master plan developed for Amaravathi is submitted to these farmers in English? Why is Naidu not giving them a copy of the master plan in Telugu?
Also, Naidu will be allotting developed plots to the farmers in low-lying areas whereas the lands which have commercial value are being given to corporates.
It is only the Communist Party that has been genuinely fighting the grievances of Andhra Pradesh right from day one since bifurcation. Unfortunately, they lack the charisma to attract the youth and cadre with their ideology as political parties in AP base themselves more on casteist lines than anything else.
