Chittoor polls-No promises galore / ఎన్నికలు ‍ - నెరవేరని వాగ్ధానాలు.

As chittoor goes to polls again, we chittoreans are repeating the same mistake of not extracting suuficient mileage from poll frenzy politicians about the upliftment of chittoor. It is disheartening to note that none of the prominent personalities contesting polls either INC, TDP, or PRP have any solid poll promises for chittoor except for routine poll gimmicks.
Can anyone of the contesting member talk about any major development activity in chittoor in the past 15-20 years. chittoor is still the same what it was 2 decades ago. Why dont we press for some real grounds work for chittoor like:

1. Widen all the major roads and provide central lighting.
2. More than 50% of the town doesnt have regulated drinking water supply. see to that immediately.
3. Improvement to internal roads and lighting arrangements in the colonies.
4. Immediate planning & execution of Underground Drainage facility to the whole town.
5. Greater inputs, survey and execution of townplanning & Immediate implementation of Master plan.
6. Greater stress on beautification and upliftment of town.
7. No professional govt college exists in Chittoor inspite of being a dist headquarter. The main reason for this is not taking up this issue and fighting with the govt.
8. Why are we still craving for polytechnic college(which has no takers). Let us fight instead for a govt medical college i n chittoor. Remember, even remote Dist Hqrs towns like adilabad and srikakulam got Medical Colleges(RIMS). Why not us?

Especially for MP candidates:
1. Get the 4 laning of Nangili-chittoor-ranipet NH4 & chittoor-tirupati NH18 immediately sanctioned. These works are still only in survey stage and needs lot of pressure on central govt.
2. Railways wise, Doubling of Katpadi Tirupati line, New trains (atleast fast passengers) from chittoor to Chennai, Bengalooru and Vijayawada, survey for fesibility of chitoor chennai new line, Improvement of facilities in chittoor station to the standards of model railway station.
3. Establishment of Manufacturing hub and Agro based industries with central govt funding in and around chittoor. this will generated much needed emplyment to the people of chittoor.


Remember none of the above points are new and these have been the aspirations of people of chittoor for ages only being delayed and delayed.Now atleast we have to wake up and fight it out, as it is the correct time. The 3 other Dist HQr's in rayalseema have developed into cities(Corporations), but we are struggling to remain a town. WHAT DO YOU SAY?

P.S: Yesterday one of my friends from a small town in nellore district was adamantly fighting with me saying his town is bigger and better than chittoor. I tried to explain him in various terms like population, demographics, extent etc. But he never listened. He kept on saying he passed through chittoor once or twice in the bus and knows well that chittoor is.It only looks like a small, underdeveloped town. This is the great Impression of chittoor in other peoples mind. Arent we all ASHAMED.
