With less than two weeks to go for both assembly and parliamentary polls, electioneering has reached a crescendo in Andhra Pradesh. The ruling dispensation led by YSRCP and the NDA alliance led by TDP, Janasena, and the BJP have been trading charges over various key issues during their high-decibel election campaigns. One issue that has been at the center of attention for the past few weeks is the contentious Land Titling Act, which was brought into force by Jagan Mohan Reddy’s government.
The Telugu Desam Party and the Janasena Party have been making a lot of hue and cry over this controversial revenue act, which the YSRCP says is aimed at giving people legal rights over their land. Chandra Babu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan have already termed it the Land Grabbing Act and condemned the ruling party for playing with the emotions of the people in the state. Meanwhile, the YSRCP retorted that the opposition parties have been spreading falsehoods about the act, which is going to be a historical move.
Reiterating his stand on the Land Titling Act, Chandra Babu Naidu once again firmly opposed the government’s approach towards dealing with the lands of the public and vowed to immediately repeal it after coming to power in these elections. During his election campaigning in Chirala on Wednesday evening, Naidu made it very clear that his government would do away with the Land Titling Act and give a big relief to the people of the state.
Naidu came down heavily on Jagan’s policies and flayed at him for bringing acts to grab the lands of the people in a forceful manner. He promised to put his second signature as Chief Minister on the file dealing with the annulment of the Land Titling Act.
The combined manifesto of the alliance partners was released recently, and the poll promises featured in it received a thumping response from all sections of the public. Naidu and Pawan Kalyan came up with a flurry of freebies and welfare schemes for the public if the NDA alliance is voted to power.
CBN promised to sign the file relating to the notification of DSC jobs on the day when he takes oath as the Chief Minister of the State. He also announced plans to revive Amaravati as the sole capital of the state and develop Vizag as a financial capital.
