Former minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu has asserted that he is loyal to the TDP and only alerted Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu of the serious consequences that may arise in case of any further delay in compensating the farmers, who lost their lands to Kakinada Special Economic Zone (KSEZ). His letter to the CM not only sparked debates, but also led to trolling by TDP activists on social media.
In an exclusive interview with K Kalyan Krishna Kumar, Yanamala Ramakrishnudu explained his intentions in the letter he wrote to Naidu. Excerpts:
What is the content of your letter to Chief Minister?
My letter is about the injustices surrounding the KSEZ, where BCs, fishermen and SCs have lost their income. I have urged the Chief Minister to form a committee to resolve the issue. Earlier, we constituted a committee headed by the RDO, involving farmers, but the corporate management is unwilling to do justice to the affected. Despite huge profits, these companies are neglecting their responsibilities. I also wrote to the NGT, which alerted district authorities, and a public hearing was held, but the companies are still reluctant to settle the issue.
