As the promised job was not given, Bapu had become dejected.He went to KTPP and stayed there on March 30 and 31, begging officials to give some job to his son. With no positive response coming from officials concerned, he consumed pesticide in front of the main gate of KTPP on April 1. Security guards posted there shifted him to a private hospital in Bhupalapally.When he recovered, the hospital approached KTPP officials for bill payment. As there was no response from them, the hospital started pressurising Bapu's family to pay the bill.Authorities of the undivided Andhra Pradesh had acquired 900 acres from 750 farmers in 2006. While paying compensation as per market price, the government had promised a job to one member of every affected family.Locals say jobs were provided to 550 people.
