CPM Accuses AP Govt of Land Scams
The CPM leaders in Andhra Pradesh are very upset with the state government.
They say the government is giving away a lot of valuable land to big companies for very little money.
This land is worth about ₹5,825 crore and includes places like Bhavani Island and the old bus stand in Vijayawada.
The CPM leaders also say the government is not using this land for the public good, but instead, giving special benefits to these companies.
They are planning to fight against this and want the government to stop these deals.
They also mentioned that the government is taking over other lands, like those belonging to colleges and resorts, which they say is not fair.
The CPM leaders want the government to use these lands to help the people instead of giving them to big companies.
CPM leaders demand halt to privatisation of Bhavani Island and cancellation of G.O. 137 for Lulu Mall.
Allegations of ₹5,825 crore worth of land being leased or occupied under guise of development.
248 acres of government property, including 13 acres allegedly encroached, handed to big companies.
Accusations of land grabs, corporate favours, and misuse of public lands for private benefits.
CPM plans to mobilise people and launch sustained struggles against land scams and corporate favours.
