Naidu treating the poor as ‘untouchables in Amaravati’, says Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister

Accusing TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu of putting a spanner in the government’s decision of distributing house sites in the R5 Zone of Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has said that it seems the former Chief Minister is treating the poor as ‘untouchables in the capital region.’

Addressing a public meeting after launching the construction work of Machilipatnam port on May 22 (Monday),  Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said that he would distribute house site pattas to the poor in the R-5 Zone of Amaravati on May 26.

The YSRCP government is giving equal priority to people’s welfare and development of all regions of the State, but Mr. Naidu was creating hurdles for the allotment of house sites to the poor, he said.
