Minister Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy's disrespect to the A.P. Legislative Assembly!

Yesterday's Minister Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy's physical attack on a couple of T.D.P. members - who were holding "YSR Dongala Muta" - was highly condemnable.  The placards show-cased or the slogans raised were referring to the fact of 'The grand father (i.e. the father of Dr. YSR being the owner of just 1 Acre and the grand-son (i.e. Y.S. Jagan) owning 1 Lakhs Crore Rupees.

No doubt, any younger brother should take offence if his late brother was insulted.   All the same in a democratically elected Assembly, there is no place for such violent behaviour, whatever be the provocation may be!  Now, or we to expect the kidnaps, murders and such other rude activities in our city too, as it has been happening in the Faction-Ridden Rayalaseema Districts.  We welcome ministers from anywhere but we don't want mayhem in our city.

In addition the members supporting Y.S. Jagan supporting him the fight was equally deplorable.  It was this faction which started displaying placards in the Assembly, with slogans of Dr. Chandrababu Naidu to had been corrupt, which act provoked the TDP members to ballyhooing the placards as discussed above.

The justification for placards against Chandrababu was that he along with his party as well as all other opposition parties have been demanding a Joint Legislative Commission to look into the large scale gifting away of a vast tracts of agricultural lands - after depriving the already poor farmers - freely or at throwaway rates.  Sizes of these given away lands were between five to twenty five times of the actual land requirement to establish SEZ, Ports, Mega Power Plants or some other such things.  (kindly read below my earlier poem on the "Death of Indian Farmer").

I, personally, believe that mass scale giving away of land, short-changing the innocent farmer had taken place in Andhra Pradesh during the last three decades, except the scale could be different, while the helpless peasants were driven away from their ancestral or acquired lands and many of them to be compensated even today, let alone being rehabilitated or providing some jobs in the projects that were coming up in their lands.

Definitely a thorough, open and sincere probe is required and the looted peoples properties to be confiscated and restored to the original owners.

I feel our Separate Telengana Leaders, while continuing their struggle for their cherished cause, also spend time in identifying the looters of public wealth and help like-minded leaders from other parts of the sate in this cause, as this a gangrene affecting everyone.
