Hyderabad: Stepping up pressure on the Andhra Pradesh Government against land acquisition for the new capital in Vijayawada-Guntur region, YSR Congress Party chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy today said he would stage a dharna (sit-in) on August 26.
The TDP government yesterday issued a notification for acquisition of 904 acres of land in 29 villages in Guntur area.
At a time when the Centre has backed down on the land acquisition amendment act in the Parliament, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's decision to acquire land forcibly was "highly deplorable", theYSRCP said.
"We are not opposed to the capital region but we are opposed to the government acquiring land with force," he said.
