Kakani Demands Disclosure of Nellore Land Reverification Data
Kakani Govardhan Reddy wants the government to publish information about land checks in Nellore.
He wants the information organized by mandal and district.
He says land registrations have been stopped for 27 months.
According to him, this has made it harder for poor farmers to manage their land and money.
He wants the government to show how many applications were received, rejected, or approved after appeals.
He also wants recommendations from public representatives to be disclosed.
Kakani alleges that the process is not transparent and has increased the role of middlemen.
He says earlier reforms gave many farmers ownership rights over their assigned land.
YSR Congress Party leader Kakani Govardhan Reddy demanded mandal-wise and district-wise disclosure of land reverification data.
He said land registrations had remained frozen for 27 months, causing financial hardship for poor farmers.
He sought figures on applications received, rejected, approved on appeal, and recommendations from public representatives.
Govardhan Reddy alleged that inadequate transparency had strengthened middlemen and harmed SC, ST, BC, and minority farmers.
He said reforms under the Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy government gave freehold rights over 27.41 lakh acres to nearly 15.21 lakh farmers.
