YS Jagan Vows To Get Lands Back To Legitimate Owners; Demands CBI Inquiry Into Scam 

Vizag: Opposition Leader and president of YSR Congress Party YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday lambasted the Chandrababu Naidu government for resorting to illegal land grab in the name of land-pooling .

Addressing a mammoth gathering at 'Save Vishakapatnam Maha Dharna' organized by the YSRCP and the Left parties to protest against the land scam in Vishakapatnam district, YS Jagan said not a single inch of land will be allowed to be taken by the government from the farmers and the underprivileged sections.

The land grab scam involving 1.06 lakh acres in Vishakapatnam district is the biggest in the history and it happened with the connivance of Chandrababu Naidu and his son Lokesh, he said. Minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao, TDP MLAs, MPs and leaders are on a land grabbing spree, he said and warned that all those found involved in the scam will be put behind the bars and all the lands will be returned to the legitimate owners after theYSRCP comes to power in 2019. Thousands of revenue records were tampered with to deprive poor farmers of their legitimately owned and assigned lands, he said.

The CM is trying to get away with an inquiry by a special investigation team which is nothing but an eyewash, YS Jagan said. "It is only one year for you and you will have to pay the price for all your illegal activities," he warned the TDP. He demanded a CBI inquiry into the scam to bring the land grabbers to book.

Farmers who lost their lands in Chodavaram, Payakaraopet, Gajuwaka and other areas appealed to YS Jagan to fight on their behalf so that they can get back their lands. v

The CPI, CPM and Lok Satta members were also present in large numbers in the Maha Dharna
