Names may be different but collection is the ultimate aim

• TDP leaders addicted to the taste of sand money
• Yellow leaders backed by administrative mechanism

Hyderabad: TDP proudly declares onscreen that sand is being given away for free. But behind the screen, sand is being robbed with the help of yellow leaders. The TDP leaders are snatching money under various names.

Leaders addicted

Chandrababu’s Government proved that huge amounts of money could be pocketed with the help of sand. TDP leaders have conquered sand reaches in every district and earned crores of rupees at every possible place. Finance minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu himself stated once that a scam involving Rs.2,000 crore had happened in sand. It can hence be understood what might have been the unofficial account for this. As the leaders of the ruling party are involved in this, the Government had to taste disgrace. So a wise attempt was made to regain its good name by wisely announcing sand as free.

Collection resumes

TDP leaders who have occupied the sand reaches are determined to not move from there. In the name of uploading charges, local development fund and donation for laying roads, they are snatching money. For instance, at Tadepalli reach near the capital area, a local TDP leader is dominating the field. He is grabbing money citing that they have laid roads there. 40-50 lorries have been arranged for supplying sand. It is the word of the mouth that an average income of Rs.50,000-60,000 per day is promised by this business. The officials are scared of questioning him as he is a ruling party leader from the capital area.

Known secrets

CM Chandrababu Naidu is well aware of these activities by TDP leaders. That is why he is trying to act sincere and boasting to have given sand for free. Administrative mechanism is in support of the sand mafia any way. The incident involving woman Tehsildar Vanajakshi exemplifies what will happen if any officer comes intervenes with the sand mafia. So the scamsters are being focused as mafia and Chandrababu is being projected as a sincere leader.

No relevance between Babu’s words and actions

• Fund allocation for BCs illustrate this
• Ex.Minister Dharmana slams Babu’s bogus words

Hyderabad: Ex.minister and YSRCP senior leader Dharmana Prasad Rao explained that the love showered by Chandrababu on backward castes was fake. He stated that the welfare funds being spent by him demonstrated this fact.

The birth anniversary celebrations of Mahatma Jyotirao Phule were conducted at YSRCP’s central office in Hyderabad. Later, Dharmana spoke to the media. He acclaimed Phule to be the first person to fight for the backward classes of Indian society. He stated that Phule had spoken for the people of downtrodden castes. Particularly he put continuous efforts for the education of those people, Dharmana praised.

He commented that CM Chandrababu Naidu’s speech on the occasion of Mahatma Jyotirao Phule’s birth anniversary was a gimmick of words. He explained that there was no relevance between what Babu spoke and did. Dharmana revealed the account of fund allocation and expenditure in the year of 2015-16 for weaker classes. Of the Rs.6,460 crore proudly announced, only Rs.4,121 crore was released for expenditure. When it came to revised release the amount came down to Rs.3,975. In reality the spent amount was Rs.2,800-Rs3,000 crore, he stated. He mentioned that this example proved the love Chandrababu had for backward classes.

Dharmana stated that TDP manifesto had mentioned many welfare schemes for people of all castes. The handloom class alone had been promised Rs.1000 crore of stabilization fund. But none of the promises had come to implementation, complained Dharmana. He reminded that fishermen’s families were also promised a lot of nice things in the manifesto, but in reality the corporate organizations doing fish culture were being encouraged. Dharmana illustrated Chandrababu’s commitment towards backward castes with examples like these.

Janmabhoomi committees’ unruly behaviour in villages

• Yellow leaders acting at their will
• No concern for systems or ethics

Hyderabad:Complaints against Janmabhoomi committees are mounting in various areas of the state. Slaughtering the public-elected administration systems is being criticized all over. Leader of opposition and YSRCP president YS Jagan is demanding the immediate cancellation of the committees that are suppressing the systems.

Local organizations are always preferred when it comes to answering the immediate needs of people in villages. Primarily, the villages, sarpanchs play a crucial role in identifyting the right benefactors during the implementation of welfare schemes. But pushing aside the sarpanchs and panchayatis are being set aside by the Janmabhoomi committees, mocking the system of constitution.

Janmabhoomi committees have been established in every village with leaders of TDP, with the name of transparency. For the issue or the cancellation of ration cards or pension or funds for the backward classes in villages, these committees are exhibiting control. In simple words, anything to happen in the villages has to happen according to the will of the committees. Otherwise regulations and Government systems will be ignored.

The High Court has also slammed the atrocious behaviour of Janmabhoomi committees. It has condemned the committees for removing the names of benefactors in pension schemes. Opposition YSRCP has been fighting against the committees for a long time now. Recently leader of opposition and YSRCP president YS Jagan has demanded for the cancellation of the committees. He explained the affects of the committees on the panchayati system. It is to be seen if Chandrababu’s Government would lend an ear to this issue.

Assistance Assured On Behalf Of YSRCP

YSR District: Leader of opposition and YSRCP president YS Jagan condemned the way the Government was behaving towards farmers. He slammed the Government for not implementing the announced welfare schemes and plans. He specified that the Government had announced Rs.5 lakh ex gratia to the families of the farmers who had committed suicide but had never put it into practice.

The Government had announced an ex gratia of only Rs.1,50,000 for the family of Mohan Reddy, a farmer of Siddhareddygaripalle who had committed suicide due to mounted debts. The officials spent Rs.50,000 to clear the debts of the farmer and kept the rest of the amount with them. The Government’s compensation is supposed to take care of the family. But not one rupee had been given to the family of Mohan Reddy. YS Jagan expressed his disapproval towards this. He opined that the rulers could earn place in the people’s hearts only if they worked with an aim of standing by the people. He talked to the family of Mohan Reddy and assured them his support.  

Mohan Reddy’s wife Kalavathi informed YS Jagan that her husband Lomada Mohan Reddy owned 3 acres of land. They had sowed for peanuts and lemon. There had been no groundwater in spite of digging ten bore wells. They had taken a debt of around Rs.10 lakh. Not being able to clear pay the debts, Mohan Reddy had committed suicide by ingesting insecticides. They had a daughter studying in grade 10.

YS Jagan heard the story and found out the situation of their debts. Kalavathi revealed to him that they were indebted to society bank for Rs.1 lakh and to grameena bank for Rs.80,000. Upon the leader’s inquiring, she told him that the loans had not been waived. She further informed him that there were Rs.80,000 of gold loan and Rs.30,000 of DWCRA loan and neither had they been waived. She stated that the officials had informed them that Rs.1,50,000 ex gratia would be issued. Rs.5000 of it had been given to each of their lenders, thus spending Rs.50,000. The rest Rs.1,00,000 was promised to be given for the education of their daughter and nothing had been handed over to the family.

YS Jagan was surprised to hear that the promised ex gratia of Rs.5 lakh had been cut down. He assured her that he would assist her on behalf of the party and sponsor the education of their daughter. Mohan Reddy’s daughter who is in grade 10 requested YS Jagan to help her get a seat in IIIT. YS Jagan replied that the number of seats in IIIT came down now but encouraged her and assured her that she could go to a good college if she excelled in education, as seats in IIIT were filled basing on performance in studies.

YSRCP aims at achieving railway zone

• The centre forgets the bifurcation promises
• TDP’s failure in achieving the realization of promises
• AP loses under TDP-BJP rule
• Gudipati sets out to indefinite strike from the 14th of this month

Visakhapatnam: YSRCP senior leader Botsa Satyaarayana demanded the Government for the establishment of special railway zone for Visakhapatnam. He slammed the central and the state Governments for forgetting the promises made to people at per the bifurcation act. A round table conference was conducted in the city pertaining to this under the supervision of YSRCP. Leaders from all parties attended this meeting. Botsa Satyanaraya spoke during this occasion and suggested that the issue of special railway zone should not be considered as a problem of North Andhra region and specified that it was the problem faced by the whole state.

Botsa commented that it was saddening to see that cabinet minister had more interest towards increasing the number of local MLAs rather than towards the people’s problems or towards achieving special railway zone. He expressed his disapproval towards the MPs of AP for applauding the Government while the railway budget was being introduced. He ridiculed that Chandrababu could do nothing but roam around Delhi. Botsa also condemned TDP MPs’ not fighting on behalf of the people of the state in the parliament. He cautioned that the people were watching everything and would teach a lesson when time came.

Botsa remarked that it was depressing to see the Telugu state being divided by the selfishness of certain people. He reminded that a special railway zone had been promised in the parliament for AP at Visakhapatnam at the time of bifurcation and complained that neither of the Governments at the centre and the state cared to realize them. Botsa questioned Chandrababu why he had not put pressure on Venkaiah Naidu for achieving the special railway zone, when he believed and acclaimed that the state was lucky to have a Telugu person Venkaiah Naidu in the cabinet. He reminded that YSRCP president YS Jagan had gone to Delhi a number of times now in view of requesting the centre for attaining the railway zone. He confided that YSRCP’s aim was to achieve the special railway zone.

Botsa mentioned that Jats had consolidated their protest and attained some rights, so people from Kapu community also increased pressure on the Government by protesting. He indicated that YSR Congress Party too would similarly bring pressure on the Government for the railway zone promised by bifurcation act. Botsa informed that the district’s YSRCP president Gudiwada Amarnath would sit for indefinite hunger strike from the 14th of this month in order to accomplish the railway zone. He called for the leaders and activists of all the political parties to voluntarily participate in this protest and bring pressure on the state and the central Governments.
