The Chief Minister, Y S
jagan Mohan Reddy, quietly suggested selling 14 acres of land in the
amaravati villages. The administration proceeded forward with the plan despite a
supreme court lawsuit that was still pending, which raised questions and drew harsh condemnation from farmers. Since being forced to halt in the
east godavari district, the farmers' Padayatra to the Arasavalli Temple, have been silent.
They had the opportunity to speak up publicly and raise their concerns on
wednesday thanks to
jagan Mohan Reddy's desire to sell the property. The
government wanted to sell 4 acres in Picchukalapalem and 10 acres in Navuluru. The rate was set by the
government at Rs 5.94 crore per acre in the hamlet of Navuluru and Rs 5.41 crore per acre in the
village of Picchukalapalem.
The 14 acres would thereby generate Rs 81.04 crore for the government's coffers via the
ap capital Region Development Authority. The administration omitted to specify why it intended to sell the land, though. The
supreme court is expected to hear the case on
march 28; it is unclear what the farmers will do or how the
court will rule. The rate was set by the
government at Rs 5.94 crore per acre in the hamlet of Navuluru and Rs 5.41 crore per acre in the
village of Picchukalapalem.
