Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and YSRCP Chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy made heads turn when he favoured private company Jaypee Group (Jayaprakash power ventures Ltd) over the government-owned AP Mineral Development Corporation (APMDC) for sand mining in the state.
In March this year, Jagan headed over the sand mining contract to Jaypee group, for a period of two years. With Jagan favouring the Jaypee group, it comes as a surprise that other YSRCP members are not so inclined towards the Jaypee group sand mining in the state.
Several YSRCP members are said to have obstructed the sand mining works by the Jaypee group in Guntur, on Wednesday. The Jaypee group also registered a complaint against these members with the Police department, which hasn’t taken any action so far.
YSRCP members from various districts are said to be asking the Jaypee group to pay them money to be able to mine in their districts. It is now to be seen how CM Jagan will respond to these actions from his own party members.
