Yellow Vultures In Capital Area

  • Government depriving the poor of food
  • Yellow brothers’ robbery under Babu’s leadership
  • CRDA and revenue officials unite with the yellow leaders
  • Lands collected from farmers robbed
  • Registrations with manipulated market values
  • Fury among people towards the Government of scams

In the backdrop of accusations on TDP leaders about doing real estate business with the lands collected from farmers of the capital city area, another scam came to light. The accusations made by the opposition came true. TDP leaders started sharing among themselves the lands grabbed from farmers by hook or crook. CRDA and revenue officials also got together with TDP leaders and plotted to swallow the farmers’ lands. They are shamelessly robbing the farmers and pulling them onto the streets.

Revenue and CRDA officials unite

Under the mask of capital city construction, revenue and CRDA officials joined hands with TDP leaders to swallow farmers’ lands. Certain TDP activists are expressing concern about being deceived and losing lands. They are complaining that the lands they gave away for the sake of the capital city are being cut into pieces and being registered under different names. A total of 2,523 acres of land was collected from farmers in Ananthavaram area where secretariat is being built. The officials lay their eyes on these lands. They projected these lands as being of less value or less area than actuality and registered them to the people of their choice.

For example, 2 acres 28 cents of land were acquired from Vijayakumari in Ananthavaram village. She also has the pass book related to that land. Although CRDA records mentioned that there was 2.28-acre land, fake records were created saying there was only 2.24-acre land and signature was taken. The rest of the land was registered under somebody else’s name. Incidents like this are happening in huge number in the capital area.

Everything happening under CM’s supervision

While the state Government, under the leadership of Chandrababu, was snatching lands from farmers and giving away to others, ruling party followers started swallowing the lands of the poor and certain Government lands. Land mafia is high on in many villages in Amaravathi area with the support of TDP leaders. Despite frequent reports about land-related crimes and misdeeds, the state Government is staying indifferent to it, explaining that Chandrababu and his coterie were behind them.

Newspapers published about conspiracies being plotted to rob Government land in the capital area of value Rs.10 crore. It is impossible that officials are unaware of the attempts made by certain private persons to add 6.24 acres of land registered as Government property in village adangal in pooling. It is highly unlikely that CM Chandrababu, who boasts that whatever happens in the state will appear on his dashboard, is unaware of this. Occupiers decided to occupy 300 acres of lanka areas in Uddandarayanipalem of the capital area, planted coconut plants in the area overnight and put Daberman dogs as security. The Dalits who went on to question the occupation of the lands granted to them by the Government were verbally abused and threatened. How can they brazenly and publicly do such misdeeds without political support? The extent of crime can be understood from the fact that occupation is mostly happening in the area where Chandrababu is the CRDA chairman.

This is a rule of robbery

Not an acre of land has been given away to the poor since the day TDP came to power. But thousands of acres of land has been snatched from farmers and given away to private investors. 33,000 acres have been gathered from farmers in the name of the capital city. Not all farmers gave their lands voluntarily. Many were harassed. Everybody who gave lands were deceived. Farmers revolting the deception yielded no fruit. Lands that were not given away voluntarily were crushed and pulled down by bull dozers. Supply of electricity was cut off. Not only in the capital area, lands are being pulled by force in many areas of the state. People showing resistance are facing false cases and arrests. Thus is the atrocious rule going on in the state.
