According to sources in a meeting with thousands of students who are part of Chandrababu Naidu Army, AP Chief N. Chandrababu Naidu promised to give away Smartphone to the youth. Referring to the state as a manufacturer of Smartphone, he said nearly 14 million Smartphone will be distributed. Meanwhile when asked how a Smartphone would make life any better? The Chief Minister said that having a Smartphone will ease every family's pain of access to the Internet.
The CM cautioned the students saying "You can make use of it and have access to opportunities for learning. But, be careful not to over-use Smartphone. You will have mental health issues unnecessarily". Furthermore the thought behind distribution of Smartphone is commendable, giving them away as freebies does not make any sense for any government.
Moreover State Governments should not entice people into believing that they
will give away Smartphone for free and everything else will be hunky dory. Hence
if they do so, they should also be responsible for the consequences that come
with over usage of Smartphone.
