The State of Andhra Pradesh is already THROAT-DEEP IN DEBT. The Chief Minister of Residual Andhra Pradesh, Shri Nara Chandra Babu Naidu is so magnanimous with public money of the People of Andhra Pradesh, collected in the form of taxes from drunkards (Excise & Abkari), land speculators (Registration Fees), that he wants to reward Nobel Prize Winners from Andhra Pradesh, with a billion Indian Rupees (approx. $15 million). To read the full news, here is a Deccan Chronicle link: Click to go to http://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/050117/andhra-pradesh-to-give-rs-100-crore-for-desi-nobel.html. Some diamonds from the speech of Shri Chandra Babu Naidu:--
"... Unfortunately, nobody from India has got a Nobel prize (after Independence). But the people of Indian origins have got the prize working outside the country. If you do research in any lab in India and get a Nobel prize, then I am prepared to give you Rs 100 crore on behalf of the Andhra Pradesh government..."
"... I want to inspire people and now, everybody has to consider it seriously. ..."
"... I shall be the happiest person, if a woman scientist wins this cash prize. ..."
ybrao-a-donkey's personal views which are not intended to be imposed on others
Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu has done only one good thing after his assuming office in 2014. It is installing giant motors at Pattisam Life Irrigation Project on Godavari River, and connecting them to Polavaram Canals, for transport of water to Krishna River in Vijayawada. It is a great achievement. About allegations of corruption in the Project, time will tell in due course, whether there has been any corruption.TELUGU STREETS ARE FLOATING ON LIQUOR
Residual Andhra Pradesh State is throat deep in debt. In Telugu language, there is a proverb, 'minga metuku lEdu, mIsAlaku sampenga nUnE. (Approx. English: There is no food to eat, but we want lavender scent for moustaches.There is another Telugu proverb: 'majjiga ku gati lEdu kAnI, perugu ku cITI vrASADuTa.'. Approx. English: We are unable to get buttermilk. But (husband) wrote a slip to get curd (yogurt). (The slip is intended to get curd on credit basis from a shop).
Apart from offering a billion bucks for the Telugu winners of the Global Norwegian Nobel prize, Mr. Naidu, has also laid foundation stone for a Science Museum at Tirupati, costing Rs. 15 billion!
There is an old Telugu film song, which I shall add here shortly. In that song a tourist visit to Chennai City is described. One line refers 'caccina kAlEjI' (=dead College, which refers to a Museum), and a 'batikina kAlEjI (which refers to Living College, i.e. Zoo ) which the Tourists can see in Chennai.
So, our revered Chandra Babu Naidu gAru is constructing a "World Standard" (whatever it may mean as per his nomenclature), CACCINA COLLEGE throwing some 15 billion Rupees.
Question: Can you suggest an alternative?
It may be wiser to spend the 16 billion Rupees on a Solar-Power- Research Laboratory cum Solar Power Production Corporation. Some amount can also be spent on production of Sea-wave Power and Sea-water Purification Power Projects, by taking help from Kalpakkam Nuclear Project, Tamil Nadu, who have some expertise in the area of purification of Sea Water, and producing power from Sea Waves. Residual Andhra Pradesh is very very rich both in Sun-light-and-heat, and the Sea-Coast-Line with strong waves. Both the Solar and Sea Water Purification Projects are worth trying. Purified Sea water can be pumped to inland areas with motors. Thus, we can get the triple benefits of 1. drinking water 2. irrigation water 3. power from Sea.
JOKES
While Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu laid foundation stone for a Science Museum costing Rs. 15 billion, and announced a reward of Rs. 1 billion for the winner of Nobel Prize, Andhra Pradesh Health Minister Dr. Kamineni Srinivas said that the Govt. of A.P. wrote to the Central Government for funds to start Dialysis Centres, in Uddanam (Srikakulam District), an area affected by Kidney diseases, as a household ailment. That means, the Kidney-disease sufferers of Uddanam will have to wait for receipt of Central Help by the State Government like "cakOra pakshis". For the Telugu idiom "chakOra pakshis", approx. English equivalent = ChakravAkam birds = a kind of bird called ruddy goose, or Brahmany duck. According to beliefs in Telugu land, these Chakravakam birds wait with "beaks open towards the sky", to receive the rain drops, when the first rains come. And this waiting will become indefinite owing to vagaries of monsoons. Dr. Kamineni Srinivas might not have given even this assurance, had Mr.Pavan Kalyan made an issue of the neglect dished out to the Uddanam kidney disease sufferers.
More to write. To continue. सशेष. ఇంకా ఉంది.
