YCP leaders in and around Visakhapatnam are allegedly resorting to land grabbing in a massive scale during the last five years of YS Jaganmohan Reddy’s regime. Victims of such land grabbing, who met at TDP office in Visakhapatnam said that YCP vultures are coming to encroach on lands of the poor.
Jana Sena leader Murthy Yadav alleged that the officers had thrown stones in farmers’ fields on the orders of Chief Secretary Jawahar Reddy. Farmers are saying that Jawahar Reddy came himself. He assured that the coalition government will do justice to the farmers after coming to power.
Victims of land grabbing said that they have been cultivating the land for 40 years. But, deplored that they are being threatened by the influential grabbers. Farmers expressed their grief that the stones in the lands inherited from their grandfathers are getting old.
Farmers said that they think that CS Jawahar Reddy has a hand in grabbing the lands. Jana Sena corporator Peethala Murthy Yadav said that the authorities had laid stones in the fields of the farmers as per the orders of the Chief Secretary, but the locals are not ready to give up their lands.
Remembering that farmers are saying that CS Jawahar Redde himself has come, he said that vultures of YSRCP are coming to destroy the lands of the poor. He said that they are trying to grab the land by blocking GO number 596.
He deplored that without the knowledge of the farmers, grabbers are getting registered of those lands in their names. He said that the revenue website was stopped so that farmers cannot check the revenue records.
Murthy Yada said that he has taken the complaint of the farmers to the attention of the Collector and if necessary, he will go to the EC and the court. He assured that the coalition government will do justice to the farmers when it comes to power.
