The Telugu Desam Party, the Jana Sena and some of their supporting organisations and associations had filed 18 cases in the High Court opposing the construction of houses in Amaravati’s R-5 Zone, alleged the Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday, July 24.
In Venkatapalem village to launch the construction of 50,000 houses, Mr. Reddy said Amaravati had become the people’s capital, home to diverse sections of people including the poor.
Stating that the government had put in a lot of effort to get permission from the courts to give the house sites to poor beneficiaries at Amaravati, Mr. Reddy termed it a struggle between neo-capitalists and the poor. Further, the Chief Minister alleged that TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu and his supporters were opposed to the sanctioning of the houses on the sites distributed to the poor.
