Very true. AP Government s spending millions on building a new capital Amaravati. There are several allegations that the land acquired for building the new capital is being grabbed by force. Naidu says all the farmers gave away the land voluntarily. The center also provided all the funds required to build the new capital. The opposition is not ready to buy this story. Opposition questions, though there is a right to stay in Hyderabad for 10 years, why Chandrababu is in a hurry ? They also allege that the CM of AP is encouraging private Realtors..

A new capital is a must for a new state. nothing wrong in it if it is done fairly and honestly. To say that farmers are giving land willingly is to be counter checked whether they are getting adequate compensation. I recall a very good policy has been adopted by AP in this. To smell corruption in every act of govt is also not fair. at this rate no development can take place. Check but do not despair and decry all the time.

Many farmers are not willing to give their land for Amaravati, the new capital of AP. even they were  assured of good compensation. Because some lands are very fertile which yield 3 crops an year. It is also true that some farmers are willingly gave their land. AP government also assured that those who give their land will be given in a place where the farmers opt. But with all said and and done High court has asked the AP government to explain Land pooling policy. It has to be seen what the High court decides.

Burdening  the common man and the exchequer  for  his unjustified and purposeless foreign tours,  Sddaramaih's actions are not Justified. Especially in view of rampant  Farmer suicides in Karnataka and extreme famine conditions.

Once they are elected and power comes into their hands the money becomes theirs ..This is how things have been functioning all along but now with media coverage we come to know about what is happening with our money and how it is being swallowed by these leaders , who are also supported in all their misdeeds by their top leadership !

I agree. When you elect a government, you give them authority to use public money in the best interest of state as perceived by them. There is audit and and administrative mechanism to see the propriety and legitimacy of expenditure.  Unless money is used clandestinely by fudging public accounts for creating personal assets as distinguished from public assets, corruption cannot be alleged. 

Double speak of Politicians.. During his regime as the CM of undivided AP in 1994, 25000 farmers committed suicide. During that period Chandrababu said " Farming is waste of time."Now he is shedding his crocodile tears and blaming the present TRS Govenment for farmer suicides.

It is equally and if not more puerile to leave it to audit and so-called administrative mechanisms to determine corrupt acts.What about Mayawati's megalomaniacal acts of installing innumberable statues of herself and elephants - symbol of her party!!!

Mayawati is the outcome of a class conflict raging from centuries in this country. The installing of statues of elephants and a couple of her own along with Kashiram's statue is to be seen as expression of identity politics. It is a manner of establishing or registering a place in society which was denied till date. When statues of upper caste leaders like Netaji, Nehru, Gandhi are installed all over the country at state expense it is considered normal but when a Dalit's statue is installed it is usually seen as waste of money. Till caste based discrimination is there such demonstrations of identity politics will occur. Incidentally the park at NOIDA is today a beautiful  picnic cum tourist site and Dalits also are proud to see their icons standing tall. Let us not grudge them their due after crushing them for centuries.
