In a bid to turn the tables, the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) has alleged that the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has kicked off a controversy over the Land and Titling Act, which is still pending adjudication in a court of law. ‘‘The TDP is creating an unwarranted and wilful misinformation campaign with an eye on elections,’‘ the YSRCP alleged.
Talking to reporters on May 11 (Saturday), YSRCP general secretary Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy said that the TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu has launched a malicious campaign to create fear among people on the Act. Mr. Naidu was well aware that the Act was pending before the court. Also, it would take at least four to five years to implement. The Comprehensive Land Survey has to be completed before implementing the Act and taking it to a logical conclusion. It would be implemented only after clearing the air and it is accepted by the people, he said.
Referring to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader I.Y.R. Krishna Rao’s post on X, Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy said the post made it clear that the BJP was the ‘karta’ and ‘karma’ (creator) of the Act, and that the State governments were mere ‘kriya’ (executors).
