What's With Chandrababu And The Capital Area?

• Lands not being leased to farmers
• Government passing time with lame excuses
• Labourers meet the same fate

Amaravathi: The Government that is hastily shifting its employees to the capital region is just ignoring the farmers who have sacrificed for the sake of the capital. Chandrababu is simply passing time in Velagapudi, not bothering to even lay eye on other villages. He is scared of being confronted about compensation promised to the farmers.

Lies told at that time

Chandrababu’s Government has uttered many lies for snatching lands from farmers. Many false promises were done like allocation of plots in the same village at the same location to the farmers giving away their lands, Government jobs to the educated members of the farmers’ households, free food in Anna canteens to be established in all villages and cities, old age homes for the aged and pensions for agricultural labourers.

All the promises ignored

Hasty trials are being made to give away the lands in capital area to companies of Singapore. Nobody seems to be bothered about giving plots to the farmers. Minister Narayana, however, is mentioning the plots now and then.

Farmers awaiting their benefits

Chandrababu entered into agreement with 24,000 farmers about paying their taxes without fail every year with additional 10% as interest. As part of this, Rs.30,000-50,000 was promised to every farmer. At first, the payment was done to gain the trust of the farmers and convince the others. But this year’s tax has not been paid.

Pension that should be given to farmers also is at stake. Almost 50,000 agricultural labourers lost their livelihood. Showing lame excuses, only 38,000 of them were concluded to be eligible for pension. Even from them, only 20,000 of them were filtered to be eligible, citing various reasons. They have been roaming around CRDA office since March due to not receiving their pension.

That explains his distance from the villages

Knowing all these facts well, Chandrababu and his ministers are staying away from those villages except Velagapudi. Scared of being questioned, they are just keeping officials available for people while they are keeping distance.
