Vijayawada: YSR Congress Party president YS Jaganmohan Reddy said that a detailed study would be conducted on the demand for reducing Kolleru Lake from fifth contour to the third contour.
He interacted with the people of Kolleru area at Perikagudem near Mudinepalli in Krishna district on Wednesday. On the occasion, they said that nearly 7,500 acres land was taken by the government in the past.
They requested YS Jagan to pursue the issue positively as thousands of families would be affected. YS Jagan reacted positively and assured them that the lands would be given back to local farmers, if he is voted to power in the next elections.
Jagan also took part in an interaction with representatives of the Scheduled Castes and Tribes. He said that he would set up different corporations for Madigas, Malas and others in Scheduled Castes. He criticised the TDP government for neglecting the Scheduled Castes.
The Scheduled Castes were being attacked under the TDP rule, he alleged and added that the government was not taking action against anyone in the cases. He said that he would enhance old-age pensions from Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,000. He also announced that he would pay Rs one lakh for each newly wedded couple.
He called upon the members of the Scheduled Castes to send their children to schools. The parents would be paid Rs 15,000 annually, he said. The education would change their fate, he reiterated. YSR Congress leaders Kodali Nani, Samineni Udaya Bhanu, Perni Nani and some others were also present.
