Sources from visakhapatnam stated that telugu Cine Actor and Jana Sena Party (JSP) Chief pawan kalyan lambasted the andhra pradesh government over the suicide of 36 daily laborers due to scarcity of sand in the state. Meanwhile the deaths of construction workers have been linked to the slump in activity in the sector caused by a change in the state's policy on sand which is required in large quantities to help strengthen buildings and used to make both cement and concrete.
When raising the issue, he said, “We will give two week's deadline to the state govt over the issue of construction workers' livelihood. Due to the government's mistake the daily laborers are suffering heavily. government should give Rs 50,000 ex-gratia to each worker's family. And Rs 5 lakh to the deceased families. If the government won't react in two weeks, I would go for another march in Amaravathi. We will then see who stops us.”
Moreover pawan also criticized the jagan Mohan led state govt's attitude over former cm Chandrababu Naidu's rented house and other alleged illegal structures saying, “Any govt, who comes to power starts with the constructive works, but this govt has surprisingly started its work with destruction. The government will also fall with the speed they started demolitions”. Perhaps pawan raised objections on ruling YSRCP's remarks on his and tdp Chief Chandrababu Naidu's hidden relationship and “If the leaders were responsible, I might not announce my party”.
