The Amaravati farmers and farmers’ unions were continuing their relay fast against the government’s decision to allot housing sites in the R5 Zone on Wednesday.
Speaking on the occasion, Puvvada Sudhakar, president of the Amaravati farmers’ JAC, alleged that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy was conspiring against the capital city, and hence changed the Master Plan to allot plots to the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) in the area initially meant for the development of IT and Electronics City.
“As per the original Master Plan, the government can allocate house sites to the poor in the R3 Zone, but the Chief Minister is keen on giving lands in the R5 Zone, which is mandated for the development of the IT and Electronics City,” Mr. Sudhakar said.
