Praja Rajyam Demands White Paper on Economic Zones

Questioning the sincerity of the Congress Government, Praja Rajyam Party today demanded a white paper on the Special Economic zones taken up in the State.

PRP wanted the Government to disclose how much extent of land has been allotted to the companies.

The party also sought know how much land is required to establish a company and how many jobs each company will create.

Speaking to reporters here today, PRP leader Tammineni Sitaram said that not withstanding AICC president Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s directions that fertile lands should not be procured for SEZs, the State Government was acquiring agriculture lands.

People in the State were waiting for a third alternative and they had chosen the PRP, he said.
