But let me describe the problems that Naidu has faced in implementing his programs.
Naidu has faced a number of problems and most of them have expectedly come from his own government employees (the bureaucrats). One of such program is APVAN. APVAN (Andhra Pradesh Value Added Network) was a unique project for Andhra Pradesh in more ways than one. The most obvious of that being the fact that it would have wired up the entire state and made government forms and procedures more accessible to the common person. Then, it would have also streamlined the government and made it more efficient.
Most of Naidu’s programs have asked for the government’s operations in becoming more transparent and to make the bureaucrats more accountable. Even his social programs like Janamabhoomi required the citizens holding the government accountable for policy and to audit its accounts. With the statewide network, everyone would have access to government information and be able to see how the bureaucrats were performing. With such a network, every minister’s files would become trackable by the public. Furthermore, APVAN would have made the filling out of forms and accomplishments of simple tasks such as obtaining a permit or paying utility bills extremely easy and hassle free.
- However, by having this online, the government employees (like the clerks and lower-grade bureaucrats) would lose out on the power that they had from having people to pay them and go through them. This is another fear that these employees have had. The employees on the lower scale have felt that they would be made redundant by the computers and have so mounted the political pressure to stop the project.
Another reason for such major opposition has been the size of expenditure the state government would have to incur as a result of all these projects.
Also, another peculiarity of Indian politics is for opposition parties to oppose the government on issues which it could gain popularity and to bring up popular opposition.
Finally, APVAN was to be designed and constructed by private firms, and those too non-Indian firms. This was an excellent innovation seeing that previously the government attempted to set up such projects themselves which led to delays and over-expenditure. APVAN would have been a great boon to the citizens of AP as their lives would have been made much easier and routine things would become just that, routine. They would also gain from a more efficient government and if that called for ridding of unnecessary employees, then that too was in the best benefit of the citizens. However, while the government labor union was very well organized and powerful, there was no common voice of the citizens. This meant that Naidu was forced to listen to the unions since there was no clear way to measure the collective opinion of the rest of the citizens. The unions had an organized special interest that Naidu could quantify in terms of the election and so had to ensure their support during elections. [color=red]So while the citizens that could have benefited from this project could greatly outnumber the union members, they were not aware of their benefits and were not able to voice their opinion.
[b]Hence, the conclusion can be drawn that to predict a policy maker’s actions, we cannot simply take sheer numbers into account but must also factor in things like the collective strength of the group and their accessibility to the policy maker.[/color][/b]
So the people’s opinions and feelings that are getting benefited by these programs are outclassed by some stupid arguments by the unions, state government employees and the bureaucrats and some negative minded people like ZC.
So I am not surprised by the extent of people’s unhappiness. If a well educated person like ZC can’t understand these long-term benefits, how a common man understands them?
People don’t need long-term benefits. They need only short-term benefits and more over, people’s expectations have doubled, they want instant development.
Development is always a systematic change and a step-by-step approach which needs some time. We have crossed only 3 steps of countless steps and we have a long long way to go.
Here the bottom line is it takes some time for a common man to understand and get the benefits of the work done by CBN. Until that time people always will be criticizing his policies.
But on the day people gets realized , they know the power and silent works of CBN.
Lets hope that day will come in the near future to remove all these rubbish arguments by people who can’t understand the actual benefits and the opportunistic unemployed politicians like KCR and the rubbish power-hungry parties like Congress and the constant power hungryman YSR now only dreams of becoming a CM. But he is having his own troubles from his own partymen like D.S.Srinivas, N.JanardhanaReddy, N.Bhaskara Rao and so on............
God only knows whther congress will come back to power or not, but already Congressmen are fighting among themselves and already 9 people were ready to become CMs and God can only save this state if this state goes to such men.
