Jagan questions road plans to benefit TDP leaders

Jaganmohan Reddy, YCP leader of the Opposition in the AP Assembly, has alleged that the State government is modifying the alignments in capital Amaravati to suit the conveniences of leaders close to the top leadership in the State. Jagan warned on Monday that his party would not stand mute to the official machinations should they come in the way of the poor in Guntur. Most lands, including those giving three crops a year around Amaravati, have been usurped by the government. Now these were being used for the benefit of those in power. The YCP leader said in the name of Inner Ring Road houses were sought to be acquired along the Rivas canal in Krishna district. Notices have already been issued to the householders. While proceeding to Nuzvid, Jagan talked to the people affected by the notices. He noted that there was a hotel belonging to a TDP leader which should be demolished for the Inner Ring Road. Instead, the houses along Rivas canal were sought to be demolished. He questioned the propriety of house demolition without compensation being piad to the affected people.
