Land-grabbers opposing Act: Sajjala

State general secretary of the YSRCP, Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy, has accused the TDP of disseminating false information about the Land Titling Act, potentially eroding public trust in the system.
Addressing the media on Saturday, Sajjala criticised the Opposition leader for resorting to derogatory language despite holding the position of Chief Minister for 14 years. He clarified that the Act, aimed at curbing irregularities, has yet to be enforced.
Sajjala said that the Act is intended to address land disputes and irregularities, heralding a revolutionary change. He lambasted the TDP for its history of land grabbing during its tenure, alleging that Chandrababu Naidu was involved in various land irregularities.
Sajjala accused Naidu of facilitating illegal land acquisitions and expressed confidence that the Land Titling Act would prevent such abuses.
The party’s general secretary highlighted Chandrababu Naidu’s resistance to the Act, suggesting that individuals accustomed to land grabbing oppose the reform.
Sajjala dismissed the opposition’s allegations as baseless and pointed to the need for reform given India’s low ranking in land dispute resolution.
Referring to past scandals under the TDP regime, Sajjala mentioned the Stamp Paper scams and defended the digitisation of land records, including featuring CM Jagan’s photo on passbooks. He called for accountability, stating that any attempt to revoke the Land Titling Act should be met with consequences. Sajjala clarified that the Act’s implementation hinges on the completion of a comprehensive land survey, which may take several years.
Terming the TDP more perilous than the COVID-19 virus, Sajjala welcomed the Election Commission’s actions against the party for spreading misinformation about the Land Titling Act. He urged the public to recognise the seriousness of obstructing the system, likening it to treason.
