Pawan instigating capital farmers, alleges Narayana

Nellore: Municipal administration minister P Narayana came down heavily on Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan for his comments that he would lay siege to Amaravati if the government failed to withdraw land acquisition.

Addressing media here on Sunday, he said that Pawan Kalyan was not aware of land acquisition process and the compensation package announced by the government to those farmers, who gave away their lands for construction of capital Amaravati.

Stating that he has been insulting the sacrifices of farmers with his statements, the minister alleged Pawan has been trying to instigate farmers in Amaravati.  Narayana said Pawan was making comments against farmers of Amaravati who were in the trap of YSRCP leaders.

He also said that the Chief Minister has been serving the state as a servant and not as a king and pointed out YSRCP chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy never showed his interest on welfare of Kapus in the state.  

He recalled Jagan’s statement on February 1, 2016 that Kapu reservations would be possible with amendment to 9th schedule after a resolution passed in the Assembly. 

The minister said the government had started Kapu Corporation and provided employment to youth of that community.  He also said that Kapu leaders must understand the attitude of Jagan. 

After inspecting the sanitary conditions in the city, the minister said a special drive would be taken to improve sanitary conditions in the city within three months and informed they had invited tenders for construction of 4 bridges on Sarvepalli canal.  

Minister Narayana said they had directed authorities to complete beautification of 2.5 kms dividers in the city. Mayor Sk Abdul Aziz, NUDA Chairman K Srinivasulu Reddy and former MLA M Sridhar Krishna Reddy were present.
