MLA Sindhura urges Irrigation Min to release pending land compensation for farmers
Vijayawada: Puttaparthi MLA Palle Sindhura Reddy, along with former minister Dr Palle Raghunatha Reddy, met Andhra Pradesh Irrigation Minister Nimmala Ramanaidu in Amaravati on Tuesday, urging him to sanction the pending land compensation for farmers who lost their lands under the 9th package of the Handri-Neeva Sujala Sravanthi project near Puttaparthi.
The MLA brought to the Minister's notice that several farmers in Pedda Kammavaripalli village, under Ward 20 of Puttaparthi Municipality, had their lands acquired in 2017 during the previous TDP government for canal construction under Survey No. 374, but have not received any compensation to date. While some farmers under the same survey number were granted compensation at the rate of ₹23 lakhs per acre, others such as Mummaneni Venkata Narayana, Mummaneni Rammohan, and a few more are still awaiting their dues.
The MLA emphasized that despite eight years passing, the affected farmers have not been compensated.
They also pointed out that land prices have significantly increased since 2017, and urged the government to reassess and ensure appropriate compensation is paid in line with current land values.
They appealed for immediate and fair resolution in favor of the affected farmers.
In response, Minister Nimmala Ramanaidu acknowledged the seriousness of the issue and assured that the government is committed to supporting the affected farming community.
He promised to seek detailed reports from district officials regarding the pending compensation under the 9th package of the Handri-Neeva canal and take swift action to ensure justice is delivered. The minister also pledged to investigate the reasons for the delay in compensation and address the matter promptly.

NDA government betrayed jobless youth and students, says former CM Jagan Mohan Reddy
VIJAYAWADA: YSRCP president and former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy slammed the TDP-led NDA government for betraying unemployed youth and students. In a post on X, he praised participants of the YSRCP-organised statewide 'Yuvatha Poru', commending their efforts to highlight the government's failure to deliver on election promises. Jagan expressed outrage over the police lathi-charge on peacefully protesting students in Narasaraopet, questioning the coalition's violent response to youth submitting a representation to the District Collector. Recalling the TDP's election promise of Rs 3,000 monthly allowance for the unemployed, he said it remains unfulfilled even after one year. He also criticised the coalition for neglecting education schemes. He highlighted that Rs 4,200 crore in fee reimbursement under Jagananna Vidya Deevena remains pending across six quarters from January 2024 to June 2025, with only Rs 750 crore released. Similarly, Rs 2,200 crore is due under the Vasathi Deevena for two instalments. This Rs 6,400 crore shortfall has forced many students to abandon education for work, he said. Jagan accused Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu of suppressing dissent instead of fulfilling commitments, labelling the Narasaraopet lathi-charge as evidence of the NDA's oppressive 'Red Book' governance.

Naidu's ‘Super Six' a ‘super flop', says Sharmila
Nellore: While describing the 'Super Six' scheme of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) led coalition government as a 'Super Flop' one, Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee President (APCC) president YS Sharmila demanded the Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu to answer the people over the issue. The PCC president who was in Nellore for participating in party general body meeting spoke with media persons at Congress party district office Indira Bhavan in the city on Tuesday. She said that except 3 LPG Gas Cylinders and Talliki Vandanam schemes, the remaining Mahasakthi, Annadatha Sukhebhava, Free bus travel for women, unemployed wage to unemployed are yet to be implemented despite one year of rule of coalition government emerged to power in 2024 elections. She has pointed out that LPG Gas Cylinders, Talliki Vandanam schemes are also not properly implemented, and 45 lakhs farmers are listed under Annadatha Sukhibhava Scheme against 80 lakhs farmers existing in the State. She also pointed out that Gravity Based Project(GBP) Polavaram project turned like Lift Irrigation Scheme(LIS) following reduction of its height from 45 meters to 41.5 meters. She alleged that injustice is being made to the Andhra Pradesh in various issues like Special Category Status (SCS) Visakha Railway Zone, as MPs representing from both coalition and YSR Congress parties have no guts to question the BJP led NDA government in the Parliament because they turned ' Puppets' in the hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for their parties vested interest. While asserting the need of Rahul Gandhi to become Prime Minister of India, especially in the interest of AP development, YS Sharmila claimed that this was the reason party high command deployed her as PCC president. While recalling the incident in which a person was crushed to death after falling under the Jagan Mohan Reddy's vehicle in his recent tour, the PCC leader questioned that why the government allowing 'Jagan' for such tours causing of Law & Order issues in the State. ' I don't understand several times government arrested me when launched fast unto death over Visakha Railwat Zone, and failure of the government over implementing of Super Six issues but it is allowing 'Jagan' to conduct tours for showing 'Bala Pradarsana' in the name of 'Odarpu Yatra' she pointed out.
