Hyderabad:

Barely 10 km from the venue lies the Pirlapally village, where a farmer hanged himself in September


His son, Raju, a student of Class 9, says he feels let down by the government.

"As the chief minister, he should help families like us who are really suffering. Did he not promise homes and pensions? We have neither of that,'' said the boy who has started working as a labourer to make the ends meet.

"We live so close by. He must have come here so many times. He should come at least today and help us. Otherwise how will my children survive, how will I educate them?" said his mother Renuka. "Will he agree to see me if I go and tell him about the terrible situation in which I and my children are? Will they let me in?'' she asks, in tears.
