TDP furthering its mercantile agenda: YSRCP

Speaking to reporters here on Friday, party spokesperson M Arun Kumar said, ‘the government has been allotting land to industrialists at throwaway prices while it has been collecting higher rates for government agencies. Though 95 % land was allotted to private sector not even 5 % was given to the weaker sections.

The farmers, who had given away their land for capital formation, were still in the lurch as they know not where they would get the land and to what extent while private players and their favoured people were getting land on a platter.

While the land was been given to private players at a nominal rate running in to lakhs of rupees, land at the same place was given for crores of rupees for government agencies which shows the commercial interest of the government, he said.

Chandrababu who has sent farmers to Singapore did not build even one 10-storeyed building. YSR during his term had distributed 26 lakh acres to SCs and 6 lakh acres to STs, he said.

The government did not follow the provisions of the GO no 368. While land was given to Basavatarakam Cancer Hospital at Rs 25 lakh per acre, at the same place it has given to New Indian Insurance Company at the rate of Rs 4 crore per acre, he said. GVR School was given land at Rs 10 lakh per acre and Chandrababu Naidu government has collected Rs 3 crore per acre.

It has released GO 369 revising the rates of land to benefit private players, he said.
