VIJAYAWADA: Coming down heavily on YSRCP president and former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy for his remarks against the government, leaders of the TDP observed that the former addressed a lengthy press conference only to divert the public’s attention from the inquiry by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on the liquor scam.
As YSRCP former MP V Vijay Sai Reddy appeared before the ED on Thursday, Jagan is frightened about revealing his name in connection with the liquor scam and levelled blatant lies against the government, the TDP leaders said.
Accusing Jagan of taking up the land survey only for grabbing the lands, the TDP leaders said that more than 70% of complaints raised by the public to the government are related to the irregularities in the land survey taken up by the previous YSRCP government.
Speaking to mediaperons at the TDP headquarters, Minister for Finance Payyavula Keshav ridiculed a person like Jagan, who sans credibility, speaking about ‘credit chori’.
Observing that Jagan did not know the difference between land survey and land titling act, Keshav alleged that the motto of Jagan behind coming up with the land titling act. He sought to know who gave the right to print the photos of Jagan on the pattadar passbooks of farmers.
He also took potshots at Jagan for talking over law and order, accusing him of totally destroying all institutions including law and order.
Stating that the TDP started land resurvey in 2018 itself, Revenue Minister Anagani Satya Prasad said that the Jagan’s government misused Act 22 with the land titling act.
He said that the government received 2.7 lakh complaints related to the survey because of the failure of the previous government.
Asserting that the coalition government is implementing effective land reforms, Satya Prasad said that lands under 22 A to a great extent were removed from the prohibited list by organising revenue clinics.
While the credit of Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu relentlessly working for the welfare of people in his eighties and made efforts to attract investments to the State by attending the WEF in Davos, enacting dramas like ‘Gulakarayi’, ‘Kodi Kathi’ are the credits of Jagan.
“We don’t want such credit like you (Jagan). The whole intention of our Chief Minister is to create a healthy, happy society,” Satya Prasad asserted.
TDP State President Palla Srinivasa Rao sought to know what credit Jagan is having except criminal history.
