Your comments makes sence when you say that the core rural ppl may be ignored. Without any doubt we ahve underdeveloped villages where basic amenities are lacking.
Without any doubt we have more villages than cities and so evidently we have more rural leaders taking part in politics as compared to leaders from cities as assumably every village would atleast be represented by minimum of 1 politicias in most cases unless the place is too small that it has to be merged with other villages to form its identity. The local leaders of this rural areas who got support from their own villages are now playing important roles in politics being at the core of decision making to form majorities as they are higher in number. It may or may not be the prioirity for those who are the leaders from cities to worry about rural problems as far as their vote bank is cocerned. But for the rural local leaders... the only way for them to be in power and get re-elected or atleast be popular and recognised is to do something productive for the same village that he/she is presenting and has won from.
It would be interesting to know that while the city leaders are busy making plans to develop cities further (along with their bank balance)... what those rural leaders are doing for their voters? They may not be getting the spotlight as the individual vilalge news may be too small for media at large. But wouldn't the local village politicians be doing something that relates to that particular small village. And if that is true then whether they are ignored totally by government? Progress is a relative term. Progress of a bigger place with different requirements could not be compared with that of a village with totally different requirements.
What is interesting to know is, if a city leader is planning to build a couple of bridges in the city for better transport and other reasons... what a vilage leader would be doing at the same time for his villages OR at least for his vote bank? He would definitely not be doing nothing and get re-elcted as there is always an opposition leader regardless how small the place.
A city slicker can not reply this as he has never been in this situations. Only a person who grew up in a smaller place can give first hand reply on this and I think that would be very beleivable too as that is something that he/she may have actually seen.

Not only rural ppl there is no development in all cities like chennai expect few cities like bangalore.
Even the city transport is not good. No traffic control, no toilets, really you will feel that is this is India we are looking far.
But for every thing, people have to change not the government or politics.
The Mindset of people have to change then only development will do.
