The details of government-owned lands are on CM Jagan’s table. As per reliable sources, for the last two months, the revenue department has done extensive work and provided the complete details of lands in government ownership to CMO. The file is now on CM Jagan’s table. The file has details of government lands in Visakhapatnam and few other districts as well.
While initially it was suspected that this was all for the proposed new capital city and assessment of government lands in various districts, the latest we learnt is that this is for the assessment of government assets. Jagan administration is toying with the idea of selling government properties to raise revenue of state government.
As AP is going through a severe financial crunch and Centre hasn’t kept its promises on AP Reorganization Act, Jagan has no other option left but to sell government properties. As Jagan’s Navaratnalu schemes require huge money, the government is contemplating to sell the unused properties to private persons to raise money.
Opposition parties are raising serious concerns over Jagan’s policy on lands after his sand policy miserably failed leaving construction industry in neck-deep losses.
