I pity people from UP. If their choice is between Mayawati and Mulayam, they are doomed to be uneducated and backward.
Shutting down retail stores is the stupidest thing anyone can do. Don't those stores provide employment to thousands? Indian farmers are a pampered, spolit lot who have never been able to stand on their feet thanks to their dependence on the government. Reliance was giving them a chance to do so by buying their output directly. Now they have lost that chance too.
Orissa is successfully carrying out contract farming. There was no need to withdraw it in UP.
Till UP residents don't look beyond their Yadav, Dalit, Brahmin fixation and get rid of their insecurities, the biggest state in India will continue to be its biggest burden.
