In the wake of Central government introducing Land Acquisition Bill in Parliament, it has become a prime topic every where. The issue is even big in Andhra Pradesh where in government collected more than 32000 acres in land pooling. Recently Janasena President Pawan Kalyan voiced his opinion against collecting lands from the farmers for AP’s capital.
Today on Janasena’s first anniversary, he remembered the words of a poor farmer who lost his land for the Ring Road. He tweeted, “ఊళ్లు కోసం రోడ్లు వెయ్యడం చూసాం గాని , రోడ్లు కోసం ఊళ్లు తీసెయ్యటం చూళ్ళేదు సారూ!’ – రింగు రోడ్డు లో భూమి కోల్పోయిన పేద నిర్వాసితుడు (We have seen laying roads for villages but never seen removing villages for roads – Land Losing farmer due to ring road). He went on to say include people in development but not threaten them with development.
He said that governments which show enthusiasm in projects do not show similar enthusiasm in rehabilitation of the displaced people. He said that Janasena wish is development in humane angle.Experts say that the tweet about land acquisition may be a gentle reminder to people and governments that he did not leave the issue and is fully aware of what is happening. Pawan Kalyan is being criticized for softening his voice on the government just a day after his visit to capital notified villages.
