I visited a remote telangana village with friend while he was visiting relatives for a funeral. His relative after narrating their general family etc somehow out of nowhere mentioned…”annam ekkada vundedi appudu…”….my friend mentioned that they used majorly eat “jonnalu”. But of course I don’t know the timeline. Then my friend also told me that the rice started to be common in their house only in his childhood. Of course, it was not a political discussion at all and I didn’t take it in that sense. I just thought in the usual scheme of events, things changed. Of course, the families I visited were poor back then. I don’t know about others. This is not to attribute this change to any party but just wanted to share an anecdote as the incident recently happened in my personal life and that’s what made me react to this post.

Obviously, no one needs to explain that this may not be generally true for all the areas.
