TDP and JSP leaders allege YSRCP’s involvement in illegal sand mining and transportation

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader Pemmasani Chandrasekhar, whose candidature is almost finalised for the Guntur Parliamentary constituency, alleged that the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders have been transporting thousands of lorries of sand illegally every day.

Mr. Pemmasani, along with Nadendla Manohar, the contesting candidate of the Jana Sena Party (JSP) from Tenali Assembly constituency, visited a sand storage facility in the constituency on Tuesday.

The TDP, JSP and BJP alliance party leaders, as part of their election campaign, visited the Atthota-Kollipara road and stopped certain sand-transporting vehicles. They asked the drivers to show the valid transport documents. After interacting with the drivers and workers, Mr. Pemmasani alleged that the YSRCP leaders were illegally operating the sand mines and transporting round the clock.

Mr. Pemmasani alleged that the State government officers were not taking the illegal mining and transportation of the sand into consideration, despite many complaints lodged by opposition leaders and local people who were suffering due to this mining activity.

Moreover, he claimed that the people of the State are going to vote in favour of the alliance and dethrone Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy in the upcoming elections.
