Says it will return already acquired agricultural lands if it comes to power
Kakinada: The Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) was in favour of developing on non-agricultural lands
and if it comes to power, it would return farm lands already acquired for SEZs to their rightful
owners. PRP would have its own norms for SEZs which have become means to do real estate
business, said PRP manifesto committee convener K.S.R. Murthy. Addressing a press conference
here on Thursday, Mr. Murthy said his party would not acquire farm lands for SEZs even if it
implied that industries have to set up their units on barren lands, where necessary
infrastructure would be created instead of destroying fertile lands in the name of industrial
development.
Health CareMr. Murthy said PRP would develop government hospitals at par with private corporate
hospitals by providing the required facilities irrespective of the financial burden entailed by
them. Development of primary health centres (PHCs) was also on top of the party’s agenda.
The payscales of government doctors would be increased and doctors who have to put up
mandatory service in the rural areas would be supported in all forms. In such a situation, people
can fulfil their health care needs at the government hospitals and PHCs. Mr. Murthy further said
that the public distribution system would be streamlined and prices would be controlled through
market intervention measures. The proposal to supply some essential commodities at Rs.100
was being worked out. As party president Chiranjeevi has announced, education would be
provided free of cost to all poor students, including those of the economically backward classes,
from KG to PG. Houses would be built for the poor for less than Rs. 1,00,000, scholarships
distributed to the eligible and other measures were being planned to achieve social justice.
