TDP govt cruel, heartless: YS Jagan

YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said the TDP government government is behaving in a very cruel and heartless manner  by taking away the rural lands in the name of port development. He said he and his party would stand by the people of Machilipatnam and its rural surroundings in their fight against the land acuquisition.

“The lands are very fertile and at least three crops can grow in these lands. The lands are the reason for local prosperity due to the aqua farms. The government has not till now specified the compensation amount,” he told the people at Karagraharam.

He met with the people who are opposed to acquisition of their lands in Machilipatnam area of Krishna district. The people of the area are looking towards YS Jagan to save their lands. They are unhappy that their agricultural and residential lands are being taken away by the Government in the name of development. They are upset that even the lands belonging to the famous Farid Baba Dargah in the region were being taken over.

The people are also deeply resentful of the fact that the TDP MLA and MP, who assured them that their lands would not be taken away, have backed off now.

Later, YS Jagan would meet the farmers at the Ganesh Mandir in Tummalacheruvu. And later at Potlapalem Panchayat office, he would have another meeting with the farmers, whose lands are being taken away.
