Overview
- On Jan. 23, YSRCP’s Perni Venkataramaiah alleged the TDP-led government is misleading the public by returning passbooks issued under the previous regime after removing Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s photo, without conducting fresh surveys.
- A day earlier, Jagan accused Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu of stealing credit for a statewide resurvey launched in Dec. 2020 that he says cost nearly ₹6,000 crore, used about 40,000 personnel and produced tamper‑proof titles, while alleging a ₹400 crore central incentive was appropriated and errors are being used to solicit bribes.
- Revenue Minister Anagani Satya Prasad countered that the TDP initiated the re-survey in 2018 at Takkellapadu, alleged the YSRCP rollout was flawed with 2.7 lakh complaints, and accused the previous government of misusing the Land Titling Act and Section 22‑A.
- The current government says it has issued revised Pattadar passbooks bearing the State emblem with more than 15 security features and is examining changes to urban registration values, with no final decision announced.
- YSRCP also highlighted a developing complaint over a violent incident in Pinnelli village, alleging a party supporter died after an attack and that police initially withheld the body, with plans to seek NHRC intervention.
