CKRAVI Posted October 21, 2015 Report Posted October 21, 2015 In his earlier avatar as chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, Chandrababu Naidu was pilloried for behaving more like the CEO of Andhra Pradesh Inc and being the darling of the industry, ignoring the farmer. In his new innings as the first CM of the bifurcated state of Andhra Pradesh, Naidu is accused of behaving like the CEO of a construction firm, obsessed with building Amaravati, the greenfield capital of the state. The party machinery has been galvanised to drum up support and ensure a very in-the-face enthusiasm for Amaravati. The attempt is also to convert those in doubt mode into Naidu-bhakts. "The man who created Cyberabad will now create a better Amaravati" is the talk of the town in Andhra Pradesh. The demi-god-ification of Naidu is complete in these parts, with a temple also to be built with the CM as the presiding deity in Guntur district. The more literate crowd is posting selfies with hashtag #ManaAmaravatiManaRajadhani (Our Amaravati, Our Capital) on Facebook and buying e-bricks for ten rupees. Bringing soil and water from different villages to Amaravati is another attempt to touch an emotional chord for what is being billed as "the People's Capital". The farmers who chose not to sell their land or be part of the land pooling arrangement stick out like sore thumb in this high-decibel level deliberate campaign mounted by the Telugu Desam. Anyone who chose to not board the Naidu Amaravati Express is branded a YSR Congress loyalist. These farmers defend their decision, saying they see little pleasure in turning into a security guard or an industrial worker and say they want to continue with agriculture in the new capital region. Many complain that beneath the gloss is the police pressure that was mounted by the Naidu regime to force farmers to give up their land. They wonder why does the government need to take up such large tracts of land and then give them away to private developers. The argument is that Naidu in one stroke, has cut the emotional attachment that a farmer has for his land and reduced them to becoming petty brokers. As per the land pooling scheme, each acre will get a farmer 1,000 to 1,500 square yards of land once the capital is completed. But for now, they have only Naidu's word that phase one will be completed by 2018. Then there is the resentment brewing in Rayalaseema and north coastal Andhra that Naidu is repeating the Hyderabad mistake by putting all his eggs in Amaravati this time. The argument is that the decision to select Amaravati was also dictated by caste factor - given the Kamma dominance in Guntur and Krishna districts.
