YSRCP member Botsa Satyanarayana has made some interesting comments related to the land disputes of Amaravati. He said that he would make sure Nara Chandrababu Naidu’s name will be included in the FIR related to the disputes.
The most interesting thing is, though, Botsa is not part of the Special Investigation team that the government of Andhra Pradesh has founded for investigating the legalities and discrepancies with respect to the land disputes of Amaravati. With Botsa making these comments, despite not being a member of the SIT is confusing many.
Botsa has said that Chandrababu Naidu had threatened a lot of Dalit people, and took away their lands against their will, and also said that there are a lot of loop holes in the lands that have been allotted in Amaravati, for the development of a Capital. This is the reason Botsa said that Chandrababu will be in the FIR. However, it is a very well known fact that this is insider information.
The most common belief among common people and other political leaders currently is that the YSRCP has made a habit out of focusing all attention on Amaravati and its lands, when there are bigger issues going on in the state. Recently, an English daily published that there are a lot of faults with the land ownership in Amaravati, and that there is Chandrababu’s hand behind it. It is now being said that this was intentionally made to be published by the government itself.
TDP members are saying that the YSRCP is running the government based on revenge fueled politics, and that they are intentionally dragging TDP into the land disputes of Amaravati, when the TDP was all but transparent.
The government of Andhra Pradesh has already conducted several investigations using SIT, to no avail, and still continues to do so. The government has even been considering handing over the case to CBI, but steps or orders for that haven’t been put in place yet.
