[ad_1]
Amaravati: In a novel protest over alleged corruption in Tadipatri municipality in Andhra Pradesh’s Anantapur district, municipal chairman J.C. Prabhakar Reddy took a bath in front of the municipal office on Tuesday.
Prabhakar Reddy, a leader of opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP), sat on a chair and took a bath in front of the municipal office.
He along with TDP councilors were on a sit-in at the municipal office since Monday, demanding action against the corrupt.

Prabhakar Reddy, a former MLA, spent the night under a tent along with other protesters.
After his bath, he continued his sit-in.
TDP leaders and workers from surrounding areas reached there to express solidarity with him.
TDP councilors on Monday launched a protest against corruption in the municipality. They alleged that the municipal commissioner and other officials were not taking any action.
The protesters submitted a memorandum to the statue of Mahatma Gandhi. They also cooked the food at the protest camp at the municipal office.

The TDP councilors demanded that the commissioner take responsibility for the theft of diesel and tyres from the municipal office.
They alleged that the commissioner was ignoring irregularities being committed by the ruling party YSR Congress. Later, Prabhakar Reddy also joined the protesters at the camp.
Earlier, the municipal chairman was kept under house arrest when he was to stage a protest over illegal sand mining in the Penna River.
The police stopped him from leaving for Peddapur to inspect the banks of the river where sand is being illegally mined.
Prabhakar Reddy, however, managed to leave the house and sat on a road to protest the police action.
He was later detained and shifted to a police station.

Over 1cr families participate in YSRCP survey in Andhra Pradesh

[ad_1]
Amaravati: Over one crore families in Andhra Pradesh participated in the survey undertaken by the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) during the last 15 days.
Two weeks after launching a one of its kind mega people’s survey named Jagananne Maa Bhavishyathu (Jagan Anna is our future), the YSRCP on Monday released an interim report. It claimed to have received a positive response on ground.
The party held several press conferences across various assembly constituencies to celebrate a significant milestone.

Vijayawada West MLA Vellampalli Srinivas said that the results of the mega survey reflect the public’s opinion and they are nothing but extraordinary.
“In just the first 15 days, one crore families participated in the survey and over 79 lakh missed calls have been received in support of CM Jagananna’s government,” he said.
Elaborating on the objective of the campaign, Macherla MLA Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy said that YSRCP’s aim was to survey 100 per household in the state (all 1.65 crore families in the state).
The party leaders invited all to visit any village secretariat and see the response for themselves.
“CM Jagan is a credible leader who has ushered in the era of welfare. The recent exit poll results of a national TV channel which predicted an overwhelming majority for YSRCP in the upcoming polls is proof of that,” said Assembly Speaker Tammineni Sitaram.

Hitting out at the Opposition, Kamalapuram MLA Ravindranath Reddy said that the Opposition is having sleepless nights because of the positive feedback that the Jagananne Maa Bhavishyathu is getting on ground, especially in Assembly constituencies that are traditionally considered to be Opposition strongholds.
YSRCP plans to reveal the final results of the mega survey on April 29.
The party on April 7 launched the survey, in a massive exercise to reach out to five crore people ahead of next year’s elections.
About 7 lakh grassroots workers will reach out to all 1.65 crore households in the state, covering five crore population.
This is claimed to be the most expensive and on-ground campaign done by any political party in the country.
The visiting party workers are explaining to the people about a comparison between YSRCP and TDP governments by showing a pamphlet.
The workers are carrying Praja Maddathu Pusthakam or survey questionnaire for feedback. People are being asked five questions including the question whether they trust Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for their future.
At the end of the survey, the party workers would request the public to give a missed call to the party dedicated mobile number 8296082960.
As soon as they give a missed call, a voice call of Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy would be received by the caller, as a token of thanks.

Efforts on to have single database for all lands in Andhra

[ad_1]
Amaravati: The Andhra Pradesh government is taking measures to ensure that there will be only one database for all the lands in the state, Special Chief Secretary (Revenue) and Chief Commissioner-land administration (CCLA) G Sai Prasad has said.
Over the past two years, Prasad said several reforms have been effected in the Revenue department to make services easy for the people.
“As part of these efforts, 50 lakh land records out of the 2.74 crore have been rectified. Earlier, everybody used to manipulate survey numbers and meddle with the existing ones but now these interventions will not be possible,” he said in a release on Friday.

According to him, nearly three per cent of the applications made to transfer mutations have overshot the service level agreement (SLA) time limit while 12 percent have been rejected, unlike 50 per cent and 30 per cent respectively a year ago.
Further, the CCLA noted that the law has been amended to transfer the power to alter revenue records from tahsildhars (MROs) to deputy collectors (RDOs).
He observed that the issue of resolving mutation applications has reached a crucial stage as a result of unrelenting auditing efforts at the district and state levels.
Moreover, Prasad said 12 tahsildars were dismissed from service and 13 more were demoted as deputy tahsildars for manipulating land records in the past one year.
Meanwhile, the special chief secretary said registration services have commenced at the village secretariats of 2,000 villages where first phase of resurvey has been completed, including the actual completion of 1,798 registrations.

Likewise, he highlighted that following the first phase of resurvey, 2 lakh mutations gave rise to 4 lakh subdivisions, which will result in 7.8 lakh people receiving land rights documents.
Prasad said Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy has directed officials to install survey stones in the 2,000 villages by May 20 where the first phase survey was over, even as 13.5 lakh stones have already been installed.
In addition to the 295 registration offices conducting registration services across the state, Prasad said registration seva kendras will also be started in some urban areas.

Andhra CM lays foundation for Rs 4,362 cr Mulapeta Port in Srikakulam

[ad_1]
Srikakulam: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Wednesday laid the foundation stone for the Rs 4,362 crore Mulapeta greenfield port in Srikakulam district, which is expected to completed within two years.
Besides the port, the Chief Minister also laid the foundations for a fishing harbour at Budagatlapalem, a lift irrigation project from Gotta barrage to Hira Mandalam reservoir and taking forward the works of Mahendra Tanaya river.
“I am proud to say that these four projects will change the face of Srikakulam district in the coming days,” Reddy said addressing a public meeting at Naupada village, adding that the district is endowed with a 193 kilometre long coastline out of the southern state’s total 974 km coastline.

However, he noted that over the decades, neither a port nor a fishing harbour or a fish landing centre was built in this coastal district which had the potential to become another Chennai or Mumbai.
Reddy observed that Mulapeta Port in Sonthabommali mandal would be completed in 24 months and that seaport has the potential to employ 35,000 people directly and indirectly, including creation of several other ancillary jobs.

Will administer state from Vizag starting Sept: Andhra Pradesh CM

[ad_1]
Srikakulam: As part of decentralising administration in Andhra Pradesh, the state government will be functioning from Visakhapatnam starting September, Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy said on Wednesday.
The Chief Minister made this announcement addressing a public meeting at Naupada village in Srikakulam district’s Sonthabommali mandal on the sidelines of laying the foundation stones for infrastructure projects.
“Visakhapatnam is an acceptable city for everyone in the state. It has the approval of all the people in the state. As part of decentralisation of administration, from this September, your son (Jagan) will set up his family (kapuram) also in Visakhapatnam,” Reddy said.

The port city of Visakhapatnam, which is the largest city in the southern state, is key for Reddy’s capital city trifurcation strategy, which involves setting up a legislative capital in Amaravati, judicial capital in Kurnool and executive capital in Visakhapatnam.
The issue over Amaravati as the current capital of the state and the development of the greenfield city is pending in the Supreme Court.

Andhra police invokes SC-ST Act against hotel for serving food on plates with Ambedkar’s picture: NCSC

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Andhra Pradesh Police has invoked the SC-ST Act against a hotel that served food on paper plates with the pictures of B R Ambedkar on those, the National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) said on Tuesday.
The NCSC received a complaint on July 8 last year through Twitter, alleging that food was served on paper plates with the picture of Ambedkar in a hotel in Konaseema district.
When a protest was staged against this by the members of Scheduled Caste (SC) communities, the hotel owner got an FIR lodged against 18 men.

The police arrested the 18 SC men and sent them to jail. Police investigated under sections of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and after finding the allegations against the hotel owner and the paper plate seller to be true, they were arrested.
NCSC Chairman Vijay Sampla said during a hearing, police informed the commission that the SC-ST Act and section 295A of the IPC have been added in the matter in accordance with the commission’s instructions.
The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 was enacted by Parliament to prevent atrocities and hate crimes against the members of the SC and ST communities. The Act is popularly known as the SC/ST Act, PoA or simply, the “Atrocities Act”.
The FIR against the 18 SC men was also cancelled at the hearing, Sampla said.

Viveka murder case: Andhra CM holds meeting with YSRCP leaders

[ad_1]
Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday held an emergency meeting with some key leaders of YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) to discuss the situation arising out of developments in his uncle Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy’s murder case.
With the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arresting Y.S. Bhaskar Reddy in the four-year-old murder case and summoning his son and Kadapa MP, Y.S. Avinash Reddy, for questioning on Monday, Jagan Mohan Reddy called a meeting to discuss the situation and its likely fallout on the family and the party.
Jagan’s maternal uncle and Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) chairman Y. V. Subba Reddy, YSRCP general secretary and government advisor on political affairs Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy, MLA Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy and others attended the meeting held at Jagan’s official residence./

The chief minister on Monday cancelled his visit to Anantapur district in view of Sunday’s developments in the murder case.
MLA Bhaskar Reddy, who was with Avinash Reddy when the latter left for Hyderabad from Pulivendula for appearing before CBI, is believed to have briefed Jagan on the talks he had with the Kadapa MP.
Avinash Reddy anticipates arrest in the case and he has approached Telangana High Court for the anticipatory bail.
The MP, who is a cousin of Jagan Mohan Reddy, had on Sunday found fault with the way the CBI was investigating the case. He alleged that the central agency was ignoring key facts in the case and treating them as accused.
Vivekananda Reddy, paternal uncle of Jagan Mohan Reddy, was murdered at his residence in Pulivendula of Kadapa district on March 15, 2019, a few days before Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.

The former minister and MP was the younger brother of former chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, father of Jagan Mohan Reddy.
The CBI has alleged that Y.S. Bhaskar Reddy and his son Avinash Reddy had hatched a conspiracy to kill Vivekananda Reddy as the latter was not in favour of YSRCP fielding Avinash Reddy as the party candidate for Kadapa Lok Sabha seat.
Bhaskar Reddy is a cousin of Vivekananda Reddy. He is also the maternal uncle of Y.S. Bharati, wife of Jagan Mohan Reddy.
