It seems AP government’s decision of canceling the mining license of Jagan owned Saraswathi Power and Industries (P) Ltd brings fresh troubles to him. Today a group of farmers from Gurajala in Guntur district have landed at his Lotus Pond residence in Hyderabad and staged dharna demanding justice.
They have sold their lands to his company, but have been farming in the lands so far as the company fails to start its operations till now. But, soon after AP government issues a GO reclaiming the lands from the company, a YSR Congress MLA accompanied by his followers is reported to be attacked the farmers in a bid take over the lands from the farmers. Probably, Jagan might have planned to start some construction activities to validate the lease agreement that lapses on August 30th. Some farmers were injured during the clash. So, all of they have landed at his Lotus Pond residence today demanding him for justice. However, it is learnt that they didn’t get any response from him.
