Roads are the basic infrastructure anywhere. The condition of the roads has also become a political issue in the current time as the opposition parties target the ruling party saying that it cannot even maintain a road and what it can do with a state.
The situation is even more problematic in Andhra Pradesh. No words can describe their horrible situation. Instead of focusing on how to make the roads better, the ruling party members are simply blaming the opposition which was in power in the previous term. No one understands this logic.
To give an example of the situation of roads in the state, a Union Minister and even former Vice President of India Venkaiah Naidu also expressed their dissatisfaction. The Union Minister said that due to the bad roads his travel time was increased.
Now the Deputy Chief Minister has a new logic to defend the bad roads in the state. No one can expect a legislator that too a person of that stature to give such comments. The over usage of roads by settlers is the reason apparently.
Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Rajanna Dora recently took part in the Gadapa Gadapaku program and toured a few scheduled areas in Parvathipuram Manyam.
Addressing the people there, Rajanna Dora reportedly said that settlers are overusing the roads and bridges leading to their damage. With this no one is coming forward to repair them.
Well he did stop there and went on to say that when a road was planned a settler stopped it which is not appreciable. Saying that such sort of behavior is not suitable, Rajanna Dora reportedly warned the settlers that they would face issues if the area is declared as a scheduled area.
Now the question many have is, what is the percentage of the settlers who travel in the agency area and how frequently they travel on the roads and bridges in the area. Many ask why the roads are so bad that they cannot even withstand when people use them. Agriculture is one of the main occupations in agency areas and this requires vehicles to travel there.
