What is expected of Chiru

It is matter of days now before chiru launches a party. People are expecting a lot from Chiru as always with any Political party. I am trying to understand what is expeceted of him.


Here are my views.

Liquor Ban :

Almost 15000 to 1.5 lac/anum was thrown away for liquor by families under poverty line in AP, contributing nearly 45% of his annual income on average.

Last year 6000 crores worth of liquor was consumed in AP next to only Karnataka. The liquor consumption is growing rapidly may touch 10000 crores in election year.

Even lot of IT and other high salaried employees also paying good 30% of their income to liquor.

If the liquor is not banned it next to impossible to erradicate poverty as people are habituated to spend their surplus (often absolute money) money on liquor.


End Corruption :

The corruption in AP is gone to a level that people started to believe it is not possible to erradicate it. The corruption by Politicians and Govt Officials in all forms like bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, patronage, graft, and embezzlement are making the country/state a hell. This the major drawback for to solve any kinds of problem in AP.

As per one survey around 21000 crores paid for petty corruption in India by citizens. If you include all forms of corruption (favours to some relatives - nepotism and favourism etc) it will be 100 times more than that.



Caste equation should be discouraged as much as possible. I am not sure how to address differnt section of society without compromizing the integrity of the system. The equation for offering for differnt sections works something like this OC < Poor OC < BC < ST < Minorities < SC. If you put finger there anywhere in middle you will get into too many problems.
