Jana Sena Party (JSP) president K. Pawan Kalyan has alleged that YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders, with the support of ruling party MLAs, are involved in land grabbing on a large-scale in North Andhra districts, and asked whether the revenue officials have no responsibility in protecting government lands.
The JSP chief visited Vissannapeta village in Anakapalli Assembly constituency on Monday, and expressed his support to the Dalits, whose lands were allegedly being encroached by land sharks and realtors, who he alleged were developing layouts in 600 acres by grabbing lands from the Dalits and encroaching onto poramboke lands.
He alleged that the realtors had no permissions from the authorities concerned, and were violating the WALTA Act (Water, Land and Trees Act, AP). He also alleged that the encroached land was falling in the catchment area of an irrigation project. He also said that a helipad was being constructed on the hill, adjacent to these lands.
