AP Chief Minister Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, in his fight against the mighty powers, had decided to involve the unemployed youth from the SC, ST, BC and Minorities, in sand transportation.
The chief minister had directed the officials to provide vehicle loans to these youths from the respective finance corporations and engage the vehicles in sand transport.
This proposal came up during the review on sand supply with the district Collectors and SPs, who told the chief minister that the transport had become a major problem as the existing transporters were not cooperating with the government.
The truck and tractor owners, who have been into the sand transport in the State for the past five years, are highly connected to the TDP and they are trying to derail the sand issue to prove that Jaganmohan Reddy is a failure CM.
The TDP had already launched a social media campaign with Jagan as failed CM and to prove it, they are not working with the government, particularly in sand transportation.
Understanding the opposition’s strong network in the transport sector, the chief minister had directed the officials to provide vehicle loans to the unemployed youth from these sections and involve them in the sand transport.
The collectors and the managing directors of the finance corporations were asked to select the unemployed youth and give them loans to buy vehicles.
Once the vehicles are ready, the AP Mineral Development Corporation Limited, which is dealing with the sand mining, would give contract agreement letters to these youths ending this problem.
This is seen as yet another initiative by the government to empower these neglected sections on one side and overcome the challenges being created by the strong and deep-rooted TDP’s community against Jaganmohan Reddy.
