YSR Congress Party on Sunday accused AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu of trying to forcibly acquire fertile lands of farmers for the State capital in the name of land pooling.
Senior party leader Ummareddy Venkateshwarlu said the TDP government should come out with guidelines on land acquisition for the proposed capital and should shun from seizing fertile agriculture land berating the farmers and shifting the blame on Opposition parties.
“There has been no concrete proposal on the land acquisition and what provisions of which Act the State is following is not known and the Opposition Parties are not taken into confidence but the Government is scaring the farmers and their future with a veiled threat even as fake registrations are on the rise baffling the genuine land owners,” part senior leader Ummareddy Venkateswarlu told reporters here on Sunday.
He said the package of 1,000 square yards of developed area for one acre was not acceptable to many of the farmers, who were being threatened and subjected to various pressures to give up their land and livelihood.
“This is not acceptable, we are not against the capital city coming up near Guntur but Talluru village and its surroundings are tense and farmers are feeling insecure,” he said.
