The Chief Minister, Y S jagan Mohan Reddy, quietly suggested selling 14 acres of land in the amaravati villages. The administration proceeded forward with the plan despite a supreme court lawsuit that was still pending, which raised questions and drew harsh condemnation from farmers. Since being forced to halt in the east godavari district, the farmers' Padayatra to the Arasavalli Temple, have been silent.
They had the opportunity to speak up publicly and raise their concerns on wednesday thanks to jagan Mohan Reddy's desire to sell the property. The government wanted to sell 4 acres in Picchukalapalem and 10 acres in Navuluru. The rate was set by the government at Rs 5.94 crore per acre in the hamlet of Navuluru and Rs 5.41 crore per acre in the village of Picchukalapalem.
The 14 acres would thereby generate Rs 81.04 crore for the government's coffers via the ap capital Region Development Authority. The administration omitted to specify why it intended to sell the land, though. The supreme court is expected to hear the case on march 28; it is unclear what the farmers will do or how the court will rule. The rate was set by the government at Rs 5.94 crore per acre in the hamlet of Navuluru and Rs 5.41 crore per acre in the village of Picchukalapalem.
