AP minister for revenue, Anagani Satyaprasad, on Monday alleged that the previous Jagan Mohan Reddy government had wasted a lot of money on land resurvey in the last five years. He said that the present government was conducting an inquiry into the land deals of the previous government.
The Jagan Mohan Reddy government had procured 77 lakh boundary stones in the last five years in the name of resurvey. The stones were purchased at a cost of Rs 650 crore, he said. This government is spending Rs 15 crore to remove Jagan Mohan Reddy’s photo on the stones, he said.
The Minister further said that the previous YSR Congress government had allocated lands to private people. The valuable lands were given at throw away price, he said. The present government would review the land allocations by the previous government and take necessary action. The government would not hesitate to take action against Jagan Mohan Reddy also, he said.
The Minister further said that the land allocations to the private people were done in the most unscientific manner by the previous government. Several rules were broken by the previous government in land allocation, the minister said. This government would bring everyone to book in this case, he said.
