Vijayawada: YSR Congress chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday accused the CRDA of favouring TD MLCs and MLAs during the allotment of plots, giving them prime plots on seed access roads and on roads exposed to commercial zones.
Speaking to the media at the R&B Guesthouse on Monday, the Leader of the Opposition stated that TD MLC Payyavula Keshav and MLA Dhulipalla Narendra had been given 12,000 sq ft plots in Kondaramaraju which we-re extremely close to prime properties. “I am astonished that prime and lucrative plots have been given to close associates of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, ministers, TD MLAs and MLCs,” Mr Reddy said, and produced documented evidence containing the details of these allotments.
The YSRC chief questioned how it was possible for these leaders and associates of the CM to get prime plots, if the CRDA had conducted a genuine lottery.
“Perhaps the lottery system allows the convenience of allotting prime plots to influential people,” he said.
He also cited examples of Speaker Kodela Sivapras-ada Rao’s personal assistant Guptha Lalitha Kum-ar, minister Palle Raghun-atha Reddy’s son Venkata Krishna Reddy, and Vinuk-onda MLA Y.V. Anjaneyu-lu’s daughter G. Lakshmi Saujanya, and said that all three of them had gotten prime plots either near commercial zones, or near seed access roads.
The YSRC chief then proceeded to read out all the details of TD leaders who had been allotted plots in the lottery, while poor farmers had been denied a fair chance. He demanded that a case of fraud be filed against the CRDA for these unlawful acts.
The leader of Opposition also expressed amazement at how AP’s growth rate could be 12.23 per cent, while the national growth rate was only around 7 per cent. “The CM made the Governor utter false things in his speech,” Mr Redy said.
While taking objection to the Governor’s comments about special status, the YSRC chief said that under 274 (A)/Section 4G of the GST Act, special provisions would be made for special category states.
