‘It is only a ploy to harass the poor and earn some money to fund welfare schemes’
The State government should immediately revoke the OTS (one time settlement) scheme, as it is not only a ploy to harass the poor, but also to earn some money to fund its welfare schemes by training the guns on the poor, said Visakhapatnam (East) MLA Velagapudi Ramakrishna Babu from the Telugu Desam Party(TDP).
Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, he said that during the TDP rule about 80,000 pattas were given to the poor and the locking period of two years has been completed by 2018. But despite that the government is not registering the pattas and now it has floated the OTS scheme to make some money, he said.
