Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy held a review on the Government’s new programme in streamlining the pattadar land records. He named it as ‘Jagananna Bhuhakku’ programme. Once this was fully completed, then the registrations of land sales would be carried out in the villages itself. The registration services would be offered at Grama Secretariats.

The Chief Minister said that the ‘Jagananna Bhuhakku’ survey would cover over 1.26 lakh sq kms of land spread over 17,460 villages. The forest lands were excluded from this. Over 3345.93 sq kms of area would be covered in the cities and towns across the State.

Mr. Jagan Reddy said that the survey would cover over 10 lakh open plots and 40 lakh assignment lands. It includes 90 lakh pattadar passbook holders who are owning 2.26 cr acres.

At the end of the survey, new land titling cards would be issued to the land holders. Each card would carry a unique identification number, extent of area owned by him or her, name, photo, QR code, etc. Digitalised maps would be made available once the survey was completed.

After 18 months of his rule, amidst the Assembly session, Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy has finally achieved what he desired the most. He launched the massive AP-Amul Pala Velluva project. He raised a new hope and made a new promise to give an additional income of Rs. 4 per litre milk to every woman and farmers.

CM Jagan said that with this, his dream of helping the rural folks came true. He saw the problems of farmers and women during his Padayatra. He promised to strengthen the cooperative societies after coming to power. Only when there is competition in the market, the farmers will get a better deal. With the present project, the women of Andhra Pradesh will have the final say in procurement of milch cattle.

The Chief Minister asserted that under the Amul project, the dairy farmers will get an additional income of Rs. 5 to Rs 7 per litre milk. The women will also get a bonus once or twice every year from the profits of the Amul project. Milk procurement will begin in over 9,899 villages in the State.

Mr. Jagan Reddy said that Amul is the 8th largest dairy project in the world. It goes without saying that Amul is being brought as yet another way to take political vengeance against Heritage, Sangam dairies that belong to one particular caste. The political conflict is taken to the next level.

The latest ‘Jagananna Thodu’ is being dubbed as a copy of the Central scheme under ‘PM Swanidhi’. The YCP Government is now facing criticism for making ‘false claims’ on the interest-free loans to the small traders like vendors and street hawkers. If the YCP has any commitment to the true welfare of the poorer sections, it should have come out with its own new schemes and implement them sincerely.

The newly launched Jagananna Thodu scheme was aimed at taking credit for the Prime Minister Swanidhi loans being given to the small traders all over the country. In fact, these small loans of Rs. 10,000 were being given already in a big way in Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Telangana while Andhra Pradesh was required to make progress all these months.

Way back in May itself, the Union Finance Minister announced the small loans scheme but now the Jagan regime was trying to make it look like its own programme. In the ‘PM Swanidhi’ website, it was clarified that nearly 15 lakh loans were sanctioned as against 28 lakh applicants for small loans.

Just like in ‘Abhaya’ app, which was a copy of the previous TDP scheme, the Jagan regime was giving paper advertisements. It was spending crores of rupees of public funds for getting publicity to the Chief Minister.

The AP Government was giving a new twist to the interest-free loans scheme in the State. Initially, the Government was asking for advancement payment of 7 percent interest on these small loans. The same interest would be deposited back into the bank accounts at a later date.

The YCP Government has already announced fixing of meters on agricultural power connections just for meeting the Central guidelines to make 0.25 percent additional loans. Now, the Jagan regime has given another blow to the people by bringing an arbitrary rule for estimating property tax based on the registration values. By implementing this, the AP Government will become eligible for getting another 0.25 percent loans. AP has already faced allegations of surrendering to the Centre on such arbitrary rules.

The civil society organisations have taken strong objection to the latest raise in property tax. If this is implemented from April next year, it is sure to increase the burden on the citizens by over 10 times.

However, the officials are saying that the tax burden will increase just by three to four times. If the new rule really comes into effect, this will have a recurring impact on the people. Every year, the registration values are being increased. Accordingly, the property tax will also go up significantly.

Already, the people were reeling under the financial crisis because of Coronavirus, petrol price hike, higher rates of cement, sand, liquor and so on. The Opposition is alleging that CM Jagan is hell bent on pushing the State into a massive debt trap from which it will never recover in the foreseeable future. Whereas, the YCP leaders are becoming ultra rich.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy asserted that top priority would continue to be given to protection of women’s rights in all programmes of the Government. He said that the new ‘Abhaya’ app was being brought for safe travel of women in auto rickshaws and cabs. The Abhayam app device would be set up in all the auto rickshaws and cabs so that women passengers can travel without fear of any atrocities or wrongdoings.

Mr. Jagan Reddy listed out a whole lot of programmes his Government was implementing for women. Amma Vadi and Cheytha programmes were being implemented for cash transfer assistance. House site pattas were being registered in the name of women members of the families.

The CM said that 50 per cent reservations were being given to women in nominated posts and works. Women were made the Home Minister and also Deputy Chief Minister.

Top level measures were being taken for the security of women. Disha police stations were set up and Disha Act was passed for the highest security of women.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy is going to Kurnool district today to inaugurate the traditional and prestigious Tungabhadra river Puskharams. The CM will offer prayers and hold puja at the Sangalbagh Ghat. As part of this, the officials made tight security arrangements at the river front and along the roads leading there.

Considering the crowded atmosphere, the authorities have ordered for strict regulation during the Chief Minister’s visit. Only the Ministers and people’s representatives belonging to the Kurnool district would be allowed to take part in the CM event. Strict restrictions are being enforced in view of the Central guidelines for Coronavirus prevention.

As part of this, Jagan Reddy will leave his Tadepalli residence and arrive at the Gannavaram airport to go to Orvakal airport from where he will proceed to the Tungabhadra ghat. After taking part in the event, the Chief Minister will return to Tadepalli.

Only a few leaders and individuals were given a chance by the officials to meet the CM at Orvakal airport.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy has come out with yet another populist scheme to catch the attention of the poor people. This time, his Government is not focusing on Cash Transfer, non-productive policy. Instead, a strategy is made to help the poor women get monthly income through their hard work. Hence, the Jagan regime has decided to provide financial help to women to open small dairies on their own.

All support would be given to these women to get better results in dairy farms and higher productivity. For this, the Government has decided to buy over 3.43 lakh buffaloes and 2.20 cows. In the next one year itself, the authorities have drawn plans to buy over 60,000 buffaloes and 40,000 cows.

Also, the Government would buy over 3 lakh goats. All these activities were intended to make the women beneficiaries of YSR Cheyutha and Asara schemes financially self-sufficient and independent.

To make this programme a success, the Chief Minister has given specific instructions to the officials to buy the best breeds of cattle available. It is also decided to make the Government Dairy Corporation Federation to buy the dairy products from the women to ensure better prices for them. These dairy units would be promoted by linking them with the Rythu Bharosa Kendras.
