After repeated complaints and court cases by the Opposition telugu desam party, the State election commission had applied brakes for YS jagan Mohan Reddy's government plan to distribute house sites to 25 Lakh Eligible Poor in all the Thirteen Districts of Andhra Pradesh. The government has planned to do that on the 25th of this month as Ugadi Special.
But State election Commissioner, Nimmagadda Ramesh Kumar instructed all district Collectors and election Officials not to allow this program as the Model Code of Conduct is underway for the local Elections. The government planned to distribute 26.6 lakh house-site pattas to the poor by the Ugadi festival in 14,097 ysr Jagananna housing colonies. The State government earmarked 5000 Crore to acquire the necessary lands from the farmers in various districts.
When everything is ready, tdp brought the election commission under pressure with repeated complaints to stop the distribution of the lands. Only the other day, Opposition leader Chandrababu met the governor and complained about the election commission being partial towards the Ruling Party. It looks like ec has come under pressure and taken this decision even though it is an ongoing scheme.
