YSRCP, TDP trade barbs on Amaravati project

Telugu Desam Party senior leader and former MLA D. Narendra Kumar accused the ruling YSRCP leaders of continuing their baseless misinformation propaganda against the TDP on the issue of Dalits’ assigned lands in the Amaravati Capital City project.

Narendra Kumar advised the YSRCP to stop its vicious campaign because the Chandrababu regime issued GO 41 only to enhance the benefits provided to the Dalits in the allotment of plots under the land pooling scheme. Without realising this fact, Chief Minister Jagan Reddy’s Advisor Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy and other YSRCP leaders are still spreading falsehoods and lies in their blue media only to mislead the public.

Addressing a press conference here, the TDP leader demanded the YSRCP leaders to say whether it was wrong to issue GO 41 to increase the size of plots to be allotted to the Dalit beneficiaries. The Amaravati Dalit residents have clearly said that they were not forced to sell their lands. But still, the YSRCP leaders are shamelessly continuing their ill-motivated campaigns. The TDP visualised Amaravati as a self-sustained Capital and spent Rs 10,000 crore on its basic infrastructure. Now, the Jagan regime is saying airy nothings on Capital development after throwing Amaravati to the winds. The TDP leader deplored that Sajjala is spreading falsehoods without knowing that the people have seen through his dubious role as the de facto Home Minister of the state while the actual Home Minister was relegated to the background without any say in the administration.

On the other hand, reiterating that TDP leaders were spreading false propaganda in the name of sting operations only to cover up their wrongdoings, YSRCP leaders said that all such operations are not for doing justice to Dalits but to safeguard themselves and bluff people.
