State conducting resurvey with precision, says Andhra Pradesh Revenue Minister
Participating in the National Workshop on land survey under Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP) in Guntur alongside Union Minister of State for Rural Development Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar, Andhra Pradesh Revenue Minister Anagani Satya Prasad asserted that the State is now conducting the resurvey of lands in a systematic and transparent manner.
On the occasion, on Thursday, he criticized the previous YSRCP government in Andhra Pradesh for carrying out the resurvey hastily and inaccurately across 6,688 villages, which led to widespread complaints from landowners. Issues included errors in land boundaries, ownership names, land classification, and reduced land measurements, causing significant dissatisfaction among farmers and landholders.
Minister Satya Prasad alleged that the previous administration ignored Central government guidelines requiring advance notice and participation of landowners during the resurvey. In some cases, surveys were influenced by local YSRCP leaders to benefit their affiliates.
To address grievances, the current government organized gram sabhas in all completed resurvey villages, receiving over 2.8 lakh complaints — every one of which has been resolved, the Minister said. Since January 20, the NDA government has completed error-free resurvey in 628 villages and is currently working in 758 more as part of the second phase.
He assured that the entire resurvey across Andhra Pradesh will be completed by 2027 and pledged protection for the rights of the poor residing in free-hold lands.

Raipur: Former Union minister and senior tribal leader Arvind Netam after attending a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh ( ) event in Nagpur, said that the visit offered him a new perspective on the Sangh's inner workings. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Speaking to the mediapersons on Saturday in Raipur, Netam said he discussed measures to reduce the ideological distance with tribal people. Netam also thanked RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat for inviting him. Netam announced a change in his position on the issue of delisting, which refers to the removal of individuals from the Scheduled Tribe list if they convert to another religion. He said that although he once opposed delisting, he "now supports it as a way to check forced or induced religious conversions among tribal people". Responding to the criticism from Congress MP Deepak Baij, who questioned Netam's growing proximity to the RSS, Netam hit back by asking whether Baij himself had "converted to Christianity". Netam further challenged the Congress party to clearly state its position on religious conversions. He brought up the protection of tribal land, forests, and water resources as another major concern. He argued that land acquisition for industrial use must not result in the permanent loss of tribal-land ownership. Instead, he suggested that such land be provided on lease, allowing tribal families to retain their rights and connection to their land.

Stalin raking up delimitation issue to cover up his failures, says Union minister L Murugan
Coimbatore: Union minister of state L Murugan on Saturday said chief minister M K Stalin was raising the issue of delimitation of parliamentary constituencies to cover up the failures of his regime. He urged Stalin to focus on running the govt properly, instead of misleading the people. Addressing the media at the city airport, Murugan said the DMK govt had increased the electricity tariff and property tax and was involved in the Tasmac scam. "Is the chief minister running the govt or are his young brothers running the show? The CM has made it a habit to blame the Union govt to cover up his govt's failures. A caste-wise census has already been conducted in Bihar and Telangana. Stalin has no intention of conducting such a census in Tamil Nadu. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced that a caste-wise census will be conducted across the country, and he is a true leader of social justice," Murugan said. He said the delimitation of parliamentary constituencies was never discussed in parliament. The Prime Minister clearly stated that the constituencies would be restructured without harming anyone or any state, he said.
