Where are the Farmer Leaders?

There is no LEADER or ORGANIZATION or LOBBY GROUP worth his/it's salt in Telangana/A.P for Farmers & Agriculture. Because farmers are DIVIDED! and they don't belong to a particular caste, job profile, etc. and they got misled most of the times.

Unfortunately, These days leaders emerge on Caste Basis only! But not on basis of Livelihoods, Economy, and People's issues. We no more see Farmer Leaders, Labour Leaders, Trade Leaders, Beedi-Industry (or) X-Industry Leaders, etc. These days, We only see B.C leaders, S.C leaders, Minority Leaders, Kaapu (or) X-Caste Leaders, etc. Our present leaders are NOT specialized on any subject/livelihood/people's issue. Instead they are specialized in 'Political maths & Number Game', 'Factionism/groupism', 'Commission Mgmt', 'Contract Biddings & Ring Formations', etc.

One of my agri-business friends from Maharastra state told once and I quote "Farmers in A.P seams to be more interested in politics & political factions than farming". Our farmers don't come together to form organization & lobby groups, they don't evaluate technology, new practices, etc. They blindly follow politicians & their parties.

Even some parties & intellectual groups (who claim to be pro-poor)just use farmers, farming issues, farmer suicides, etc for their dirty POLITICS & individual fame. They don't LIVE with farmers and don't let them live on their own! Just they want to thrive on them - Poor & poverty! No body is feeling responsible when it comes to agriculture, even the farmer! We do less Agriculture and more Politics (irresponsible
politics)!!

Let us hope for better leaders, leadership, and bright future for our TELANGANA AGRICULTURE!

Remember Teams Win!
Jai Telangana! Jai Jai Telangana!!
