All the poll promises made to the farmers are yet to see the light of the day. No major pro-agriculture reforms or resolutions have been taken in Andhra Pradesh; instead the large number of power projects being planned along the coast line (see the 2011 graphical representation of the projects); some already in implementation stage; are going to cause further displacement of farmers. Further the SEZs; the industry corridors and not to mention the capital zone coming up in Guntur and Vijayawada are bound to drastically affect agriculture; further weakening the landless farmers and big farmers. Food crisis is looming large, say experts. Further with the promise of a new capital, many agricultural land owners in the vicinity have already plotted their farm land to convert it into commercial land. The government is further making an attempt to convince others to give up agriculture and contribute their land to build a new capital.
