YSRCP to launch mass movement against Vizag land scam

Visakhapatnam: Former minister and YSRCP Anakapalli district president Gudivada Amarnath pointed out that the NDA government is behaving like a real estate agency by distributing public lands at throwaway prices to the party followers and supporters. At a media conference organised in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, he stated that the lands were given away to favouring companies and real estate groups, ignoring public interest. Criticising that the government has failed in keeping its election promises, Amarnath said the TDP-led coalition government has been involved in massive irregularities in land allocations in Visakhapatnam over the past 15 months. He pointed out that while the previous YSRCP government planned to develop Visakhapatnam into a major IT destination on par with Hyderabad, the present government is diverting valuable lands to companies with no track record. Citing examples, he stated that prime lands worth thousands of crores of rupees were handed over to companies at rates as low as Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore per acre. Amarnath said this allocation had failed to generate even a single IT job for the youth in the state. The former minister stated that Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and Minister Nara Lokesh were supervising these shady land deals, and that public land was being looted to benefit their associates and supporters. 'Why similar land allocations are not being made in Amaravati and why the TDP was not drawing investments there,' he questioned, criticising Naidu's frequent Singapore visits aimed at renewing old ties. Amarnath announced that YSRCP would launch a mass movement against the land scam and hold the coalition government accountable for diverting public wealth for personal gain.

TDP, YSRCP spar over AP's industrial policy; Palla defends CM Naidu, slams ‘toxic' criticism

VISAKHAPATNAM: The TDP and YSRCP leaders have traded barbs over Andhra Pradesh's industrial progress under Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday. TDP State president Palla Srinivasa Rao slammed former YSRCP IT minister Gudivada Amarnath for allegedly distorting facts about land allocation for the Ursa Data Centre. Amarnath claimed the land was allotted at 99 paise per acre, an allegation Pallla refuted, stating the actual rates were Rs 55 lakh per acre for the data centre and Rs 1 crore per acre for IT office space, with full transparency. Palla emphasised that global tech giants like Google, TCS, and Cognizant are investing in Andhra Pradesh due to Chandrababu Naidu's transparent governance. He contrasted this with the YSRCP's tenure, during which companies like Apollo Tyres and HSBC exited the State, citing coercion and an unfavourable investment climate. He dismissed YSRCP's criticism of Naidu's foreign visits as baseless, pointing instead to alleged scams under their rule, including a Rs 3,500 crore liquor scam and a Rs 2,000 crore sand scam, both under investigation. As Naidu leads a delegation to Singapore to attract investments, Palla accused YSRCP of resorting to 'toxic narratives' to divert attention from their lack of developmental achievements. He reaffirmed the TDP-led NDA government's commitment to clean governance and industrial growth, expressing confidence that the public will see through the political noise. 'The people are watching closely,' Palla concluded.

Meanwhile, in a move to show strength in the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament, Bharatiya Janata Party has called upon all the MPs of alliance parties that remain part of the larger National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The BJP had requested that all NDA MPs be present at the Makar Dwar of the Parliament today at 10:00 AM. Live Events Lok Sabha is set to hold a special discussion on ' Operation Sindoor ', India's military response to the Pahalgam terror attack .

The opposition has also demanded that PM Modi respond to the repeated claims made by US President Donald Trump of initiating a "ceasefire" between India and Pakistan following Operation Sindoor.

We have told them that Operation Sindoor will be discussed first. We will decide which issues to discuss after that. Operation Sindoor will be debated for 16 hours in the Lok Sabha on Monday (July 28) and for 16 hours in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday (July 29)," Rijiju told reporters.
