After CBN's (ChandraBabu Naidu) rule extending for 9+ years.. there were infinite farmer suicides. And we were hearing day in day out that CBN was transforming our dear own farmer's paradise of AP into Hightech state. Day in day out we were listening to the crap thrown at us by the govt, by the press, by magazines all over India and the world as to the effect CBN was having on the betterment of AP. Day in day out we were hypnotized to such an extent that for the whole of 9 years we forgot that more than 80% of our Andhra population lived in the villages. We forgot that "agriculture" was the most important export of our people. We forgot that not so long ago our state was called the "rice bowl" of India. We forgot that our people cultivated one of the best cotton grown. And therein started the second greatest mistake done by the CBN govt.
Now to the first one. All along we were projecting AP vis-a-vis Hyderbad as "the destination" for IT. And CBN was all along asking the farmers to grow not rice but other "money crops". The change to money crops usually takes a long time and our famers are not accustomed to growing other kind of crops in such fertile lands. And we lost the title of being the rice bowl. And our famers were reduced to taking begging bowl. And then there is the Bt cotton issue. While the whole world was paying Rs 45 (USA) and Rs 150 (China) for the seeds, we in AP thanks to the govt of AP, were paying a whopping Rs 1800 for the same seeds.
