Rajesh Kumar decided to leave a steady career in television in 2017 to pursue a career in farming. The actor, who has starred in many iconic shows such as ‘Sarabhai Vs. Sarabhai’, ‘Yeh Meri Family’, ‘Neeli Chhatri Waale', etc., found that farming proved to be a much bigger challenge than he had anticipated. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, the actor said that he started a business of being a “family farmer.” During the initial stages of the startup, some friends became his clients, while many ignored him. “A few of them subscribed to it, the rest of them chose to ignore it. There’s a long list of people who at first said ‘Wow, what an amazing idea’ and then ignored me. They were the people with whom I had shared screen space,” he revealed. The startup didn’t take off, and the actor had to sell vegetables. The actor got emotional as he recalled how he became a public spectacle when he sold vegetables outside his son’s school. His son eventually requested his teachers to buy vegetables from him. “After the start-up failed, I started to sell vegetables outside my son’s school. It made people think, ‘He has gone mad. Why is he selling vegetables?’ It happened so that when my son saw me selling vegetables outside his school, he went to his teachers and said, ‘Would you please buy vegetables from my dad?’ He was in third grade at that time. Then all of his classmates went to different classrooms to inform them I was selling vegetables, and requested the teachers to buy it from me,” he reminisced.

Andhra Pradesh is the only state in India that has not yet presented its budget for 2024-25, an unusual occurrence though not unconstitutional, according to experts. Even though the N Chandrababu Naidu-led coalition government completed 100 days in power on September 19, it is still drawing funds under Andhra Pradesh Appropriation (vote on account no. 2) Ordinance. Article 116 of the Constitution lays down the provision of vote on account that empowers the government to withdraw funds from the Consolidated Fund of India to meet the expenditure requirements for a limited period, usually right before an election. In this case, Andhra Pradesh assembly elections were held together with parliamentary polls and Odisha assembly elections. Both Odisha chief minister Mohan Charan Majhi and Naidu took oath on June 12. While Majhi presented the budget on July 25, Andhra government chose an unprecedented strategy and said it was trying to gauge its finances before presenting the budget. Naidu's white paper on state finance showed Andhra has a debt burden of ₹10 lakh crore. A vote on account was passed to address financial requirements between August 1 and November 30.
