Can the Thullur villagers rely upon the YSRCP?

The YSR Congress party’s legislative leaders will visit the nine villages of Thullur Mandal on February 23rd, where farmers are not willing to give their lands to the government for capital city construction. They will conduct series of meetings with farmers and note down their opinions, objections and problems they are facing with the land acquisition process being conducted by the government. Later, they will raise these issues in the upcoming Assembly session, said party’s senior leader Pardha Saradhi.
He alleges that ruling the TDP government is campaigning that the YSR Congress party is opposing the capital city construction. He said that his party is not averse for constructing capital city at Thullur, but opposing clinching of farmers’ agricultural lands by force.
Agriculture minister of the state Prattipati Pulla rao stated that around 19, 000 acres of land was collected so far and he is expecting to collect rest of the 10, 000 acres of land before end of this month.
His statement is categorically revealing that majority of the people in Thullur Mandal are satisfied with the package offered by the state government under land pooling system, otherwise they also would have opposed this process. But, people in the nine villages only are opposing the process because they opine the package is not worth for their fertile lands. Hence, the state government has to convince them offering even better package or find some alternative to find an amicable solution to this problem.
The YSR Congress that is very desperate to defame the government may be visiting those nine villages only to provoke the people against the state government. It may assure them to fight on behalf of them in the Assembly and the courts. But, it may surely desert them when they badly struck with the legal or some other problems. If seen its track record farmers can understand it. YSRCP betrays its Telangana leaders. It picks and drops its Samaikyandhra agitations after the elections were over. People are aware why it’s president Jagan Mohan Reddy has conducted Odarpu Yatras and gearing for Raithu Bharosa Yatras now. So, if the farmers should think about better options than relying upon the YSRCP.
