Going by his actions when in power, it appears as if Chandrababu’s intention is to see to it that Andhra Pradesh becomes a farmer-less state.
Grabbing lands and fertile agricultural lands at that, seems to have become an obsession with him.
While the controversial land-pooling scheme in Tulluru is playing havoc with the lives of farmers there where 38000 acres of fertile land are going to sacrificed for concrete structures, he is all set to replicate the infamous scheme in Bhogapuram.
15000 acres of land is being acquired in Bhogapuram under the land pooling scheme for the airport coming up there.
YS Jagan has lashed out at Naidu over this move. “The market rate for one acre of land in Bhogapuram is nearly Rs 2 crore. If Naidu grabs these lands and gives the farmers, 1000 sq. yards or 15000 sq. yards under land pooling, where will these farmers go? Also, why does the government need 15000 acres for an airport? And that too in Bhogapuram when the one in Vizag itself is struggling to see any traffic? If the 350 acres of Vizag airport are not enough then a further 1000 acres might be acquired there itself instead of destroying 15000 acres in Bhogapuram,” said YS Jagan.
He vowed to support the farmers of Bhogapuram in their fight against the government.
