Will AP capital land acquisition lead to trouble ?

Andhra Pradesh government has issued GO 166 on Thursday related with the Land Acquisition in the capital regions of Andhra Pradesh.

The GO will come into effect from tomorrow i.e Friday(May 15th,2015) and the land acquisition act will become operational from tomorrow.

Earlier the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA)act has failed to acquire adequate lands, so TDP government has taken the initiative of land pooling and land acquisition processes.


According to GO, the Andhra Pradesh government is all set and certain to forcibly acquire lands from the farmers of Undavalli, Penumaka and other villages.


Earlier the farmers have approached the High Court refusing to offer 800 acres of land. But with the implementation of the land acquisition GO, the land is expected to be acquired by the government.

As per the GO, the collectors have been given full powers to acquire lands.


The Andhra Pradesh government has aimed to acquire 33000 acres of land. But it could acquire only 10,000 acres through the process of land pooling.

The work of land acquisition has been handed over to Guntur Collectorate.

On the other hand, some section of the farming communities are still objecting to it and they are raising protests against the land pooling as well as the land acquisition process.

YCP leader Jogi Ramesh has strongly condemned against the Chandrababu Naidu's government stating that land pooling process has not been implemented in any part of the World. Further, he has slammed Chandrababu  Naidu alleging that he has created the fearing atmosphere among the farmers which is strictly objectionable.

On the other hand, Vijayawada central MLA Bonda Uma Maheswar Rao said that land acquisition of 800 acres is the historic necessity for capital development. He has appealed the farmers to come forward and come forward to offer their lands either by means of land pooling process or be ready to face the land acquisition act.

MLA Bonda Uma hoped that YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and actor turned politician and Jana Sena party founder Pawan Kalyan will extend their support. Further he said that if possible, they will talk with them to come to an understanding.

CPM leader Babu Rao has slammed the AP government saying that it has not prepared the master plan yet for the capital.He has alleged that AP government is trying to buldoze the issue with the help of land acquisition act and it has failed to study the social impact issue.
