CPI asks KCR to withdraw Land Acquisition Ordinance

Condemning the TRS government for issuing G.O.69 for land acquisition on the lines of Prime Minister Narendra Modi government’s Land Acquisition Ordinance, CPI Telangana State Council on Wednesday demanded that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao withdraw the G.O. immediately.

In a pressnote issued on Wednesday, CPI Telangana State Council secretary Chada Venkat Reddy alleged that KCR government issued G.O.No.69 for the acquisition of land forcefully from the farmers only to get a pat from Modi government at the time the farmers opposing the Land Acquisition Bill across the nation by staging protests and jail bharo programs. “The G.O. will swallow the rights of farmers”, he alleged. Giving exemption to 2 and 3 chapters of 2013 Land Acquisition Act in the Ordinance will abolish the permission of Grama Sabha for Land Acquisition. The new G.O. will not even allow to think whether there is any alternative land to give to the victims, he alleged.
Issuing G.O.No.69 at the time of Central government was trying to take the suggestions of all party meetings and appointing the Parliament Joint Action Committee to take its advices, is reflecting the autocratic nature of KCR. He warned KCR that CPI will teach lessons in case the latter behaves crookedly. He said that if the government tries to acquire the land of farmers and Universities through this Ordinance will pay the way to turmoil in the State. He demanded the government to withdraw the Black Emergency Ordinance immediately if not the CPI will take up huge agitations across the State. (NSS)
