KCR Govt Destroying Livelihood Of Farmers

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) on Monday accused the Telangana Rashtra Samithi government of destroying the livelihood of farmers, land tenants, agriculture labourers and artisans.

In a memorandum submitted to Governor E S L Narasimhan at Raj Bhavan, PCC president N Uttam Kumar Reddy sought his intervention against the forcible land acquisition for various projects by TRS Government in the State.

The TPCC chief said that the State Government was acquiring lakhs of acres of land in the name of different development project while displacing lakhs of lakhs of farmers, land tenants, agriculture labour, artisans and several other dependents on the village economy. A sizeable population belongs to SC and ST communities.

"While development is necessary, it is the fundamental responsibility of the government to protect the basic rights of people who are affected due to these projects. It is mandatory on the part of the Government of Telangana to administer the Resettlement and Rehabilitation program by implementing RTFCATLARR Act -2013, protecting their basic rights and livelihood," he said.

Condemning imposition of Section 144 in those villages, the TPCC President accused TRS Government of creating 'Kashmir like situation' to terrorise the villagers by doing flag-marches by fully armed policemen. He said even the orders of High Court were being violated without any fear.

"This is a clear-cut case of abuse of power by the Government of Telangana," he said.
