Chandrababu hand in glove with sand mafia

Hyderabad,
Dec 3: In the name of sand policy, Chandrababu Naidu has been covertly helping
the sand mafia in plundering the state’s scarce natural resources at their
will. There was huge misappropriation of funds in price fixation of sand and
also in sand mining which benefitted the ruling party leaders immensely, party
senior leader Botsa Satyanarayana told reporters here on Thursday. 

The
price of sand per cubic metre was drastically increased by TDP government in
north coastal districts from Rs 40 to Rs 550 per cubic metre and reduced at
some other places and in the entire exercise over Rs 3,000 crores should have
been the revenue in the words of Chief Minister.

However
when it came to accounts, only Rs 850 crores was shown and the rest had been
appropriated by the people close to the Government, he said. He urged the State
Government to take effective measures in coming to the rescue of the Telugu
speaking people in Chennai, which was battered by torrential rains.

Parts
of Chittoor and Nellore were also affected and the state should provide
effective relief measures, he said. The issue of heavy rains and damage was
raised by Party MP, Mekapati Rajmohan Reddy in the Lok Sabha, he added.

Taking
strong objection to the arrest of party leaders in Visakhaptnam today, Botsa
said ‘the arrest of our party leaders who were on their way to submit a
representation to the District Collector highlighting the failures of TDP
government in controlling the prices of essential commodities is condemnable. The
police had arrested them immediately after they left the party office and took
them to different police stations that were far and wide away, which shows the
intolerance of TDP government,’ he said.
