Amaravati Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday indicted the former YSRCP government of sacking the state’s land, mines, minerals and timber coffers in the last five times. The CM contended that YSRCP leaders were involved in land grabbing, forging casing documents among others. “ They( YSRCP leaders) assigned lands to ineligible people like party( YSRCP) configurations, MLAs and benamis at will.

They also changed the status of assigned lands( belonging to SCs & STs) and converted them into freehold lands, ” said Naidu, releasing a white paper on contended exploitation of natural coffers. pertaining to the Vizag land fiddle in which Rs.4,469 crore was boosted, the CM said Rama Naidu Studios ’ lands were immorally reclassified as domestic design at the quarter position.

Naidu also contended that a land fiddle in On gole amounted to Rs.101 crore, Tirupati( Rs.270 crore) and Chittoor( Rs.99 crore), among others under the guise of casing design. According to the TDP supremo, YSRCP leaders linked parcels under family controversies, unclaimed private plots, empty land parcels and government spots to ‘snare’.

Claiming that YSRCP leaders had forcefully acquired 10,000 acres of land belonging to crushed sections similar as SCs, STs and BCs, he said they had bought lands from poor people at low cost and acquired YSRCP party leaders ’ lands at an extravagant cost.

farther, Naidu claimed that YSRCP leaders bought 40,000 acres of assigned lands converted into freehold land parcels by exploiting SC, ST, and BC communities. In the five sections of Kadapa, Kurnool, Anantapur, Annamayya and Nandyal, Naidu contended that 8,086 ineligible heirs were chosen for the benefit of YSRCP to transfer 13,081 acres of land worth further than Rs.1,300 crore.

Naidu said land records across the state will be distributed with government hallmark, replacing Jagan Mohan Reddy’s imagery while noting that the YSRCP period state-wide land resurvey programme has been abolished.

still, the CM promised that all the land affiliated issues will be resolved and called on people from across the state to come forward and lodge any complaints or shafts they suffered. Promising to launch a risk-free helpline and a website to admit plaints, Naidu said no malefactor will be spared.

Expressing wrathfulness at the exploitation of the coffers of the state, he said a legislation, AP Land Grabbing Act, will be passed on the lines of the one in Gujarat to discipline the offence of land grabbing. On the alleged beach and mineral wealth spoil, Naidu said the state incurred losses to the tune of Rs 19,000 crore due to illegal beach mining, drastic fall in mineral profit and other irregularities.

Inefficient mineral administration, pullout of free beach policy, non-recovery of pending pretenses from beach contractors, profit loss due to outsourcing of mineral permits and non-recovery of pending pretenses from contractors have contributed to these losses, he said. Naidu further said that 58 acres of mangrove was diverted in Kakinada quarter for Jagananna casing colony, a weal scheme.

“ I don’t know whether to call it a white paper or a paper of falsehoods or allegations. This white papers business was brought to level allegations against our chairman YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and cast aspersions on him, ” said Nagarjuna, addressing a press conference at YSRCP central office in Tadepalli.

Also, he said that despite being the CM, Naidu is employing largely depreciatory words in his white paper donations to target YSRCP leaders. Wondering where politics is heading in the southern state, Nagarjuna said the CM will be held responsible for every word he's uttering.
