The CPI(M) has announced that it will take out a cycle rally from the CPI(M) Undavalli office to the CRDA office in Rayapudi on Wednesday (November 26), demanding urgent action on the long-standing problems faced by residents and farmers of the capital region of Amaravati.
CPI(M) Guntur district committee member and capital division secretary M. Ravi said at a press conference on Tuesday along with district committee member and Tadepalli city secretary Buruga Venkateswarlu that the rally was organized ahead of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s scheduled visit to the capital region on November 28.
They expressed hope that the central government would respond positively to the long-standing grievances of Amaravati residents. After the rally, they plan to submit an official statement to officials at the CRDA office, calling for immediate action.
They demanded that the ₹15,000 crore loan given by the Asian Development Bank for the construction of Amaravati be converted into a central grant, arguing that the burden should not fall on the state or farmers who parted with their land.
CPI(M) leaders highlighted the persistent problem affecting farmers in the capital region. They alleged that the banks were refusing to provide loans for the reversionary plots allotted to them. Despite repeated appeals to the authorities, the problem remains unresolved, causing a significant financial burden. The CPI(M) leaders urged the government to take urgent steps to ensure that banks start sanctioning loans on these plots without further delay.
