805 English CrossWord Puzzle No. ybcw 005,, and musings on Supreme Court Judgement on Land Acquisition

YB CROSSWORD PUZZLE No. ybcw 005.

Here is our Crossword Puzzle No. ybcw 005. This time, we have reduced the grid size to 10 x 10 cells, to reduce the workload from the puzzle. For these 100 letters, we have 53 clues- 28 across, and 25 down. We have tried to eliminate the 'two letter words'. Some repetitions were found from the previous puzzles ybcw 001 to 004. This seems to be unavoidable, as filling the grid is done on 'random' basis, by the Linux qxw package, generating the crossword puzzles. We have one flexibility. We can edit the source dictionary 'American English'. In case of Ubuntu, it is stored at /usr/share/dict/AmericanEnglish file, which is a txt file. We can add / delete entries from this file. But we have to use 'sudo' password to open text editors such as gedit, geany. In qxw, in Autofill, there is one option, to add our own dictionaries. We can create some new dictionaries such as medicdicti, herbadicti in our home or Desktop Folders, and add to the autofill/dictionary menu. We can also add other language dictionaries such as Danish, French, German, Italian. Probably, we can also use some utf-8 languages. But, these additions made in the qxw autofill, will only be temporary. In a way the 'temporary' addition is an advantage, in the sense that we can temporarily add more and more dictionaries, such as Sports Dictionaries for creating a Sports Crossword, Film Dictionaries for Film CrossWords. In otherwords, we can create Specialised Crossword Puzzles in specific subjects.

CPM does not seem to have learnt anything from the Supreme Court quashing the 2006 Singur Land Acquisition made by the Left Front Bengal Government led by CPM, to hand over the land to Tatas, for erecting a car factory. At that time, Ms. Mamta Banerjee, Trinamul Congress Party Boss, (2016: CM of Bengal), went on a 26 day fast, on behalf of the displaced farmers. click to see http://www.ndtv.com/opinion/ratan-tatas-legacy-tarnished-by-supreme-courts-singur-verdict-1452882 .

For those who wish to download the Supreme Court Judgement, a pdf: Click, to read online/download supremecourtofindia.nic.in/FileServer/2016-08-31_1472646846.pdf

ybrao-a-donkey's personal view:-


CPM went wrong in their forced land acquisition at Singur, because they were siding with the industrialists, to deny an intensely cultivated land to farmers. Soon after the Supreme Court Judgement, CPM ought to have apologised to the Bengal farmers and the Indian Nations, and ought to have promised to guard against recurrences. The Left Leaders seem to have an ego, apart from nursing a misconception hitherto a manic only to bourgeoisie parties and Governments, that rapid industrialisation heralded only by private industrialists alone can generate employment. "Private employment" as a solution to the problems of unemployment and poverty, is misguided and a fallacy.

Opportunity has arrived in the form of Supreme Court judgement, to enable CPM to correct its historical blunders and ways. But, the egoistic CPM Leadership seems to have failed to take up the cue.

Referring to the comment of Surjya Kant Mishra, CPM Secretary, Bengal, one can only ask: "What is going to be the difference in INdia, between a Bourgeosie Party and a Leftist Party?"

Is Supreme Court Industrialist-unfriendly, or Industrialist-friendly?



Ans. Neither. Supreme Court Judgments tend to depend on fancies of the Judges sitting on the Judge, this of course, Collegium may not agree.

Almost all the State Governments, and the Government of India, seem to believe in massive Land Acquisitions, maintaining land banks, and handing over huge swathes of lands to private industrialists either direct, or through the technic of SEZs (Special Economic Zones, IT Parks (Information Technology Parks), Industrial Corridors.

Now, the bourgeoisie Governments of the States, with the help of the industrialist-friendly Central Government, will try to make new laws, issue more ordinances, to nullify the outcomes from the Supreme Court Judgement.

POSITION IN ANDHRA PRADESH


The Government of Residual Andhra Pradesh acquired hundreds of thousands of acres of land from farmers, directly under Land Acquisition Procedures, and also through armtwisting the farmers through Land Pooling Scheme.

Supreme Court Judgements unfortunately tend to be non-repetitive, unstable. Non-Singur farmers, Farmers of other States in India, should not build much hopes.

To continue. सशेष. ఇంకా ఉంది.

566 Shifting CApital from Amaravati will be better than blunt land acquisition or abandoning land acquition


The goals/aims of Mr. Pawan Kalyan in requesting TDP Government not to use Land Acquisition Act against reluctant farmers , are not known. Actually, he should have objected to the Land Pooling Scheme, and the methods used in obtaining the consent(s) of the farmers for LPS, with a lurking threat of use of Land Acquisition if they do not yield to LPS. He should also have opposed to the manner in which LPS farmers were tempted by making them to believe that their 1000 yards will become gold. Mr. Pawan Kalyan may be knowing that the whole World Class Rajadhani Construction is a sell-out to Singapore and Japan.
"...I request TDP government not to use ‘Land acquisition act’ to procure the remaining land for AP capital and wish it will amicably settle the issue. ..."

'... నేను టీడీపీ ప్రభుత్వాన్ని, ఆంధ్ర ప్రదేశ్ రాజధానికి మిగిలిన భూమిని సేకరించటం కొరకు, భూసేకరణ చట్టాన్ని వాడద్దని విజ్ఞప్తి చేస్తున్నాను. సమస్యను సామరస్యపూర్వకంగా పరిష్కరించుకోవాలని కోరుతున్నాను....'

" तॆलुगु देशं सर्कार से मेरा प्रार्धना यह है कि, आंध्र प्रदेश के राजधानी के लिये शेष आवश्यक भूमी को सेकरण करने के लिये, वें भू सेकरण अधिनियम को लागू नहीं की जाय। और समस्या को सामरस्य पूर्वक ढंग में परिष्कार करने को मैं चाहता हूँ। ..."


Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu is reported to have told Reporters on 12th Aug. 2015, Wednesday, as under:-
"...We will go ahead with the Land Acquisition Act. It should not be a problem as very few farmers have to give their consent. Hardly 10 per cent of the farmers have not given consent and will go ahead with the Land Acquisition Act of 2013. ..." " हम भू सेकरण अधिनियम से आगे जायेंगे। यह एक समस्या नहीं बनेगा, क्यों कि, बहुत कम किसानों अपने सहमत देने का है। दस प्रतिशत किसान से कम, अपने सहमत नहीं दिया। और (हम) भू सेकरण अधिनियम २०१३ से आगे जायेंगे। ..." " మేము భూసేకరణ చట్టంతో ముందుకు వెళ్తాము. ఇది ఎందుకు సమస్య అవదంటే, ఇంకా చాలా కొద్దిమంది రైతులే తమ అనుమతిని ఇవ్వ వలసి ఉన్నది. కేవలం పది శాతం కన్నా తక్కువ మంది రైతులు తమ సమ్మతిని ఇవ్వలేదు. మేము భూసేకరణ చట్టం 2013ను అమలు తో ముందుకు వెళ్తాము...."


ybrao-a-donkey's humble views. You need not agree with me. You have every right to express your views and criticise me. Welcome. वैबीराव गधे के विनम्र राय। आप मुझ से सहमत होने के निर्बंध नहीं है। आप को अपने अभिप्रायों को व्यक्त करने के और मुझे खुरदा पकडने के सभी हक हैं। स्वागत. వైబీరావు గాడిద వినమ్ర వ్యాఖ్య. మీరు నాతో ఏకీభవించవలసిన నిర్బంధం లేదు. మీ అభిప్రాయాలను వ్యక్తం చేసే స్వేఛ్ఛ, నన్ను విమర్శించే అన్ని హక్కులు మీకున్నాయి. స్వాగతం.




1. Both Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu and Mr. Pawan Kalyan do not appear to be correct.

Reason for Mr. Pawan Kalyan, not being correct: Nearly 80% of the farmers have already been coerced (forced with the threat of impending land acquisition) to join the Land Pooling Scheme. Everybody knows that farmers have not joined LPS voluntarily, except those who were tempted by greed, when Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu promised them that the 1000 yards per acre land they will get, shall become precious gold. It is like the religious conversions made during the Bahmany, Nizamshahi, Tughlack-Khilji, Mughal, and the British rule. People were either threatened or tempted. Whatever it be, large number of farmers have already surrendered their lands. Not taking over the remaining required land under L.A. Act, will lead to inequal treatment. While those who joined the Scheme get 1000 sqyds per acre, those who do not join the LPS will get entire acre of their land which they will commercially exploit. That means those who reluctant/recalcitrant will get four times more benefits than those who acceded to the Govt's requests.

Allowing the reluctant/recalcitrant farmers will create inequalities worse than the first two options.

1. Bluntly take over the remaining land under L.A. Act, if necessary by applying force.

This is a sort of equality. (I am not supporting this). Forcible taking over may lead to some violence either from farmers or from the State, such as Firings. In the process, Andhra Pradesh will fail to learn lessons from what happened in Nandigav and Singoor in West Bengal. History will repeat. The 10% farmers who remaining (as per Mr. Naidu's estimate) are now going to become hardnuts to crack. This, Messrs. Naidu, Pulla Rao, Narayana & Co. may have to keep in mind, on the basis of a simple logic that these 10% farmers have not yielded to the Government, in spite of repeated threats of land acquisition, and extension of the schemes from time to time.

2. Cancelling the Amaravati Rajadhani Scheme.

Return the LPS land to the farmers. Shift the Capital to some other place where enough Forest/Govt. land is available, while ensuring that land speculation and builder mafia will not shift there. This is the best option, which I support.

Reasons: Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu by repeatedly declaring that he would build a World Class Capital created great undeserving hopes in people to become super-rich in the shortest time they can dream off. He has also welcomed the land-speculation and builder mafia to enter Capital Region and monopolise the ALL THE LAND surrounding the Seed Capital land. Lands upto Nandigama Muktyala (Telangana border) in Krishna District, Krosur Atchampeta in Guntur District have been diverted from agariculture to fallow plots in which we can see only some boundary stones. The buyers of all these lands neither build houses there nor sell them to poor and middle classes to enable them to build their own homes. Nor will the speculating owners/builders reconvert the land into agriculture or at least some small gardens. They will be lying vacant for another five decades, with the exception of those which are immediately-roadside. Consequently, for erecting small scale industries or medium sized industries also, land will not be available.

If Mr. Naidu Narayana Pulla Rao & Co. believe that all the farmers have joined LPS voluntarily, then they will be indulging in self-deception. (आत्म-वंचन ఆత్మ వంచన). It is a different that politicians may not have souls (AtmAs) or worry about "vancanAs (deceptions). People who have such worries will not join politics.

3. VIA MEDIA PROPOSAL

If the Govt. wants takes cancellation of Amaravati Rajadhani Scheme, and if the Govt. does not want to displease Mr. Pawan Kalyan , can adopt the following procedure:

In case of LPS okay farmers, Govt. can take two types of consent letters. From those who want to Govt. handing over their land to private Corporates for Development, they can give their consent. Those LPS okay farmers, who want that Govt. should use their land only for genuine GOVT. PURPOSE without handing over the land to anybody either on lease or on allotment, they can give a restricted consent letter. These lands Govt. will have to develop with State Funds and use for genuine public purposes such as Govt. Hospitals, Govt. Schools, Colleges, Universities, Municipal-Panchayat-Roads-State-and National Highways.

In case of LPS not okay- farmers, Govt. can issue orders stopping registrations. It can permit the farmers to continue to cultivate their lands as long as they wish to. If they want to sell the lands, they should sell their lands to Govt. at rates fixed by the Govt., and if the Govt. does not want to buy, Govt. can allow their sale only to legitimate agriculturists who will actually till the land. Thus the desire of the farmers to save their ancestral lands will be fulfilled. Mr. Pawan Kalyan can also be satisfied. Whenever Govt. purchases these lands from farmers, it should use only for genuine public purposes, and should not lease them or allot them to private parties for any purpose.

TAIL PIECE पुछ्छल तारा తోక చుక్క There are news reports that AP Government has agreed 50% cost of doubling the Guntur Guntakal RAilway line. This seem to be foolish.

Reasons: 1. Central Govt. in a butcherlike fashion, divided the State of Andhra Pradesh, quite unilaterally. It will, therefore, be the duty of the Central Government to bear the entire cost of doubling the Guntur Guntakal line. In Bihar, Bengal, Uttar Pradesh States the respective Governments are not bearing 50% costs.

2. If the Capital of A.P. itself is located on the Guntur-Guntakal line, at a place like Donakonda, Vinukonda, Nandyal, Atmakur (Kurnool Dt.) it might have forced the Central Govt. to take up the doubling the Guntur Guntakal Rail line on its own. Establishing the Capital between two crowded cities of Guntur and Vijayawada which are well-connected with Railways, and by asking for AP Express to start at Vijayawada, Naidu Government has jeopardised the cause of Guntur-Guntakal line.

Correct route of AP Express ought to have been (Bangalore)Hindupur-Guntakal-Dronachalam-Nallamala Ghats-Vinukonda-Narasaraopet-Guntur-Vijayawada-Eluru-Rajahmundry-Visakhapatnam-Vizianagaram-RAigadh, Raipur etc. etc. By following this route, we could have had the AP Express to serve as a spinal card for the Andhra Pradesh State. We could also have avoided the Telangana connection by eliminating Manchiryal and Kajipet, even Secunderabad. The new AP Express would have helped the backward States like Orissa, Chattisgadh, Madhya Pradesh, probably U.P. It would have reduced the load on Delhi-Kajipet-Vijayawada GT line. If trains are started on this route to benefit Tamil Nadu, they will run through Vijayawada, Tenali anyway.

Question: You are always writing about Marxism (or Total Socialism). It is an impossible dream. Make some suggestions for quick development of A.P. and employent creation, within the FRAME-WORK OF CAPITALISM.

Marxism (Total Capitalism) will not be an impossible dream. However, as desired, we shall examine the ways and means of quick development and employment generation within the framework of CApitalism, in the next blog post.

This song makes AtrEyA one of the greatest Heart poets of all time, in the world, in all languages. It can be ranked among top all time 1000 lyrics of the world. I am not writing this because I am a fan of AtrEya, or because my mother tongue is Telugu. In fact, I am not a fan of AtrEya. Late K.V. Mahadevan composed equally immortal music for the song.

Question: Why are you quoting this song at this juncture?

Ans: The top three of Residual Andhra Pradesh Cabinet, handling the land pooling, land acquisition for Capital are playing with the hearts and minds of the farmers of the 29 villages identified for the Capital. 1) Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu,C.M. 2) Mr. Prattipati Pulla Rao, Agriculture Minister & Minister from Guntur District . 3) Mr. P. Narayana, Municipal Admin. Minister.

The latest two statements made by Mr. Narayana are worth studying.

Did he tell or did he not tell?
Here is a quote from page 6, Print Edition (Vijayavada) of Deccan Chronicle, dated 7.5.2015.

Wont use force to collect lands, says Minister

The CRDA Vice Chairman and Minister, Mr. P. Narayana, said the CRDA will collect farmlands from the farmers who are willing to give their lands under the Land Acquisition Act. The Minister came to Tullur on Wednesday and reviewed the progress of the CRDA land agreement process and distribution of annuity cheques. Mr. Narayana said the CRDA will not collect the lands of farmers who are unwilling to give their lands.

Approximate Telugu gist: సీ ఆర్ డీ ఏ వై స్ ఛెయిర్మన్ మరియుమంత్రి శ్రీ నారాయణ అన్నారు: సీఆర్ డిఏ భూసేకరణ చట్టం క్రింద భూములు ఇవ్వటానికి ముందుకు వచ్చిన రైతులనుండి భూములను సేకరిస్తుంది. మంత్రిగారు బుధవారం నాడు తుళ్ళూరు వచ్చి సీఆర్ డిఎ భూమి ఒప్పందాల ప్రక్రియను, మరియు యాన్యూటీ చెక్కుల పంపిణీల ప్రగతిని సమీక్షించారు. శ్రీ నారాయణగారు అన్నారు: భూములను ఇవ్వటం ఇష్టం లేని రైతుల భూములను సేకరించదు.


ybrao-a-donkey's humble perceptions वैबीराव गधे के विनम्र अनुशीलनाएँ और भावनाएँ వైబీరావు గాడిద వినమ్ర అభిప్రాయాలు

Why did Mr. Narayana change his mind in one day?  Did he consult Mr. Chandrababu Naidu, before promising that lands will not be acquired from unwilling farmers?  Why  Telugu news  daily Andhra Jyothy concentrated more on Mr. Salman Khan's jail, and did not publish this news item on 7.5.2015?  

The sincerity of the Government requires testing EITHER by the farmers, OR by the Govt.
ప్రభుత్వం యొక్క నిజాయితీ, విశ్వసనీయత ప్రశ్నార్ధకమే. మంత్రిగారు చేశారని చెప్పబడుతున్న ఈ వాగ్దానాన్ని రైతులన్నా పరీక్షించాలి, లేక ప్రభుత్వమన్నా పరీక్షించుకోవాలి.

ONE method for testing the sincerity of the Govt. పరీక్షించటానికి లేక పరీక్షించుకోటానికి ఒక పధ్ధతి

The Government should issue an Official Notification giving permission to the farmers who have already given consent to Land Pooling, to withdraw their consent if they desire, before a deadline date, with a provision that pooling will be final after the last date. Govt. should include in the notification, the promise made by Mr. Narayana as quoted above, i.e. not to acquire lands of farmers who are not willing. The end result after the last date will show very clearly how many farmers are willing, and how many farmers are not willing. Then, it will also become very clear, that the promise made by Mr. Narayana is not a false promise.

లాండ్ పూలింగుకు అంగీకార పత్రాలిచ్చిన రైతులందరికీ వాటిని ఉపసంహరించుకునే స్వేఛ్ఛ కల్పిస్తూ, దానికి ఒక ఆఖరి తేదీని నిర్ణయిస్తూ , ప్రభుత్వం ఒక నోటిఫికేషన్ ఇవ్వాలి. దానిని ప్రభుత్వ అధికారిక వెబ్ సైట్ లో పెట్టాలి. ఆనోటిఫికేషన్ లోనే గడువు తేదీ దాటిన తరువాత ఉపసంహరించుకోనివారి లాండ్ పూలింగ్ పత్రాలు ఫైనల్ గా పరిగణించబడతాయని స్పష్టం చేయవచ్చు. ప్రభుత్వం నోటిఫికేషన్ లోనే స్పష్టంగా చెప్పాలి, శ్రీ నారాయణ గారు పైన చేసిన వాగ్దానం అంటే, భూసేకరణకు ఇష్టంలేని రైతుల భూములను సేకరించమని తేల్చి ధృవీకరించాలి. రైతులతో దాగుడు మూతలు ఆడటం శ్రేయస్కరం కాదు. గడువు తేదీ దాటిన తరువాత ఎంతమంది ముందుకు వస్తారు, ఎంతమంది రారు, అనే విషయం స్పష్టంగా తేలుతుంది. అపుడు నారాయణగారు తప్పుడు వాగ్దానం చేయలేదని ఋజువు అవుతుంది.

People in general, farmers in particular, are not tree trunks or stones. They are just humans. Govts. cannot play their cruel games with them. Playing with their hearts and minds which revolve around their lands will not be good for a democratic Government. The Govt. should learn from the experiences of CPM in Nandigam, West Bengal, where the Bengal Govt. tried to snatch away the lands of farmers and entrust to Tatas.

ప్రజలు, ముఖ్యంగా రైతులు, మానూ మాకులు కారు, రాయీ రప్పా అసలే కాదు, వాళ్ళు మామూలు మనుషులే. ప్రభుత్వాలు తమ క్రూర క్రీడలను వాళ్ళతో ఆడుకోకూడదు. వాళ్ళ గుండెలతో, మనసులు వాళ్ళ భూముల చుట్టూ తిరుగుతూ ఉంటాయి కాబట్టి, ప్రజాస్వామ్య ప్రభుత్వాలకు మంచిది కాదు. ప్రభుత్వం బెంగాల్ నందిగామ్ లో సీపీఎమ్ అనుభవాలనుండి పాఠాలు నేర్చుకోవాలి. అక్కడ బెంగాల్ ప్రభుత్వం రైతుల భూములను లాక్కొని టాటాలకు కట్ట బెట్టాలని ప్రయత్నించింది. దానికి తగినమూల్యం చెల్లించుకుంది.

499 CMs & PMs are not teachers and Ministers are not children मुख्य मंत्री और प्रधान मंत्री उस्ताद नहीं और मंत्री लोग बच्चे नहीं। ముఖ్యమంత్రులు ప్రధాని టీచర్లు కారు, మంత్రులు, ఎమ్ పీ లు, ఎమ్ ఎల్ ఏలు, పిల్లలు కాదు.



Question: Comparing CM and PM to teachers, and Ministers in the Cabinet to be children, does not seem to be appropriate. Why do you waste your time? Write something magnificent things, such as Valmiki Ramayana!


Answer: This comparison has arisen, as there are news reports that Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu cautioned his Ministers that they would be given marks for their performance, and given Transfer Certificates (TCs), if they do not raise to expectations. CM & PM are also Ministers, and they are not Gods. They are first among the equals. In other words, Ministers are equal to CMs and PM in every respect. The Ministers should also know their true role as the near-equals of CMs and PM. This is irrespective of whatever may be prevailing in Britain, whose Parliamentary Customs and traditions we have borrowed. Ministers, if they think that they are servants of CMs and PM, then those Ministers will start behaving like Rakshasa women surrounding Ravana.


Valmiki Ramayana, Sundara Kanda, Chapter 22, Verse 36. yathA madvashagaa SItA
kshipram bhavati jAnakI
tathaa kuruta rAkSasyaH
sarvAH kShipram samEtya ca.

Context & English gist: Ravana abducted Sita, and kept her in the Ashoka Garden. Nearly nine months elapsed, yet she was not surrendering to him. Ravana gave her further two months, after which, if she persists, he would get her killed. He instructed the daemon women guarding Sita: See the word used 'kshipram = immediately, without delay' used in the second line and fourth line. "Sita should be brought under my control fast." "All of you together (sarvAh samEtya) do it quick".

Just as Ravana expected his daemon women change the mind of Sita, by all means,  Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu is asking his Ministers to perform, by successfully changing the minds of farmers, without delay.  This the Ministers are doing by threatening farmers that they lands will be taken over through LA Act.

If the Ministers do not perform, they will be given TCs and sent away from the school. Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu ought not have said these words, even as a joke. Reason: Ministers are not only- NOT STUDENTS, but also NOT EVEN TEACHERS (Teachers are equal to Head Master/Principal at least in some respects).  Thus we get the deduction, that CM is the first among equals , of all the MLAs.  PM is the first among equals of all MPs (all parties included).

If we accept the idea that CM-PM are Headmasters and Ministers are teachers, who will be MLAs and MPs? They will become students. It will not be correct. Reason: Even MLAs and MPs are equal to CMs and PM. This is because every MLA cannot be made Minister/CM and every MP cannot be made PM & Central Minister.

Of course, there is one solution. Our Lok Sabha and Assemblies have five year terms. Annual rotation is one possibility. That means five PMs/CMs. Sameway five batches of Ministers at Central and State levels.

When the same party gets a second opportunity of ruling for another ten years, we can go for another five new CMs/PMs and five annual batches of Ministers from MLAs/MPs after eliminating those who had their chance during the first term.

MLAs and MPs, through secret ballot elect Ministers, CMs and PM.

A.P. CM thinks that legislators and Ministers need to be kept under control, through class room lecturs and training programs. Arranging for a lecture by Jaggi Vasudev, is one such example. Our PMOI seems to think that BJP MPs are to be disciplined through enforcing codes of discipline, class room lectures and training programs. Even first time MLAs and MPs should not be treated in that manner. They are, they will be as much knowledgeable as the Ministers and CMs once they spend a few months to study the Parliamentary practices.

Question: What did Ravana further order the daemon women?
Valmiki Ramayana, Sundara KAnDa (Volume 5), Chapter 22, Verse 37.
pratiloma anulomaish ca
sAma dAna adi bheda naiH
avarjayata vaidehIM
daNDasy odyamanena ca.

English gist: Through anulOma (favourable i.e. carrots) and pratilOma (adverse i.e. sticks), sAma = soft words, dAna= gifts etc. bhEda = Original meaning divide the enemies, contextually we can take a meaning of threatening, danDa = coercion, udyamam = persistent efforts, vaidEhIm avarjayata = Bring under my control. Briefly: Bring Sita under my control using all methods.


What Ministers of Andhra Pradesh are expected to do??

Bring the adament farmers who are refusing to join land pooling, not only in Capital Region, but also on the other side of Krishna River, for Tourism,
at Gannavaram, for expansion of airport
at Bhogapuram, for new airport at Visakhapatnam
... ...

Farmers are comparable to adament Sita. Ministers are the daemon women entrusted with the work of overpowering Sita.

Question: Ordered by Ravana, what did the Rakshasa women do?

Answer:  To describe this, Valmiki used:
Chapter 22: 7
Chapter 23: 21
Chapter 24: 5
Then Sita replied, weeping.
Chapter 24: 29
