YSRCP condemns TDP’s land pooling

Condemning  the  land  acquisition  policy  of  the  TDP Governmentm which is heavily loaded in favour of the realty developers, YSR Congress has said the indiscriminate land acquisitions, pooling and allotments are not in the interests of farmers and economic growth.

“Farmers have knocked the doors of the High Court to redeem their land. This shows  that  the  acquisition  was  done  in  a  forceful  manner  and  the  latest development of acquiring more land on the other side of the river front and stretching capital area extent goes against the interests of farmers and serves the commercial purpose of the developers,” party deputy floor leader JyothulaNehru pointed out.
Social Activist Anna Hazare has written a letter to Chief Minister N Chadrababu Naidu in which he said that acquiring fertile lands for capital area development is not a wise move. The letter seems not to have gone well with the State Government. It did not respond positively and some of the leaders have been passing uncharitable remarks against Anna Hazare which show the dictatorial attitude of the State.
While there is resentment across the country on the land acquisition and a farmer committing suicide at a public meeting, TDP Government has gone one step  ahead  by  forcefully  acquiring  land  from  farmers  and  giving  it for development to its favoured contractors on Swiss Challenge method which will reap rich dividends to the contractors, he said.
“The allotment of 400 acres of land to an organization of Jaggi Vasudev will also come under scanner after we come to power,” he said.
