VIJAYAWADA: Refuting the charges of Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy that TDP didn’t provide welfare schemes to people, TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu said that Jagan should remember that it is the TDP government which spent 19.15 per cent of budget for welfare schemes while the YSRC government spent only 15.8 per cent.
Addressing public meetings at Darsi of Prakasam district, Nuzvid of Eluru district and at a roadshow in Kakinada district on Saturday, Naidu accused Jagan of rolling out the AP Land Titling Act to grab the lands of people.
He said that though land records can be stored in the Government of India organisation like the National Information Centre, Jagan stored these records in a private California-based company named Critical River.
Cautioning the people on the threats being posed by the Land Titling Act, the TDP chief informed them of the statement made by Jagan that an American-based company called Critical River Technology is maintaining the land records of the people here. “If that company amends the records of your lands what will be the fate?” Naidu asked.
Stating that the Act came into effect on November 1, 2023, he asked the people whether they have ever seen such atrocious legislation. The Act has been brought in only with the sole aim of grabbing the lands of the people, Naidu criticised.
Asking Jagan as to why he has printed his photo on the pattadar passbooks of lands of farmers in the State, the TDP supremo informed the public that there is no security for their properties with the Land Titling Act brought in by Jagan.
Tearing into pieces a copy of the Gazette of the Land Titling Act at Darsi, Naidu announced that immediately after coming back to power the Act would be revoked. He expressed confidence that the NDA is forming the governments both at the Centre and in the State.
Informing the public that the NDA has already announced a tremendous manifesto along with ‘Super Six’, the former chief minister said that once the NDA comes into power the State will certainly march forward in a progressive path.
Labelling Jagan as the gang-leader of robbers and land-grabbers, Naidu appealed to the people to screw up the fan (symbol of the YSRC) and dump this ‘useless’ government in a dustbin. He predicted that the anarchy that AP is now facing will end in another 10 days.
Promising the people that assets will be created and the revenue generated from these properties will be distributed to the poor, the TDP supremo felt that Jagan lost his mental balance immediately after the NDA released its manifesto.
Stating that Jagan has been concocting cock and bull stories as fear of losing power is haunting him, Naidu said that after blaming the Reliance Industries for the death of his father YS Rajasekhara Reddy and even encouraging his followers to damage its properties, Jagan after coming to power has offered Rajya Sabha membership for a person from the same organisation.
