VIJAYAWADA: Adviser to government on public affairs Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy has said Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is taking the administration to the doorsteps of the public, with renewed vigour.
“Under this, 1.46 crore families were contacted during the Jagananna Suraksha programme across 26 districts. The CM aims to conduct this mass outreach programme twice per annum to serve the public,” he said.
The adviser said the latest court-related developments on the grant of houses to the poor in the R5 zone in Amaravati was part of the wider struggle between the poor and the rich. “In this, Jagan stands for the poor and Chandrababu for the wealthy.”
“We are not setting up factories like ‘Bhopal UC Gas’ in Amaravati. We are giving houses to the poor. What is wrong with it? There is no society without the poor. SC, ST, BC, minority and other poor should live in Amaravati. Chandrababu is fighting against the poor. We will go to the Supreme Court against the HC interim stay on the construction of houses for the poor in Amaravati,” he said.
Sajjala said a majority of the lands given in Amaravati under the Land Pooling System changed hands, turning those into real estate ventures. “There are several institutions in Amaravati in which students are outsiders. They are not farmers. Farmers gave their property voluntarily and in return they got plots. The Jagan government is developing Amaravati better than ever.”
The adviser said there was no proper road on Karakatta in the past. The present government started a bypass through the Krishna River till Kaja. “The work is going on fast track for Amaravati connectivity.”
Sajjala claimed that since Jagan Mohan Reddy came to power, he has been working on projects with sincerity, but Chandrababu's men went to NGT to prevent the work on the Rayalaseema lift irrigation project. Naidu's debts went into the pockets of TD and our debts into the people's accounts through DBT-based welfare schemes,” the adviser claimed.
