Legal Violation in Including Land in 22A List Without Notice: A.B. Venkateshvararao A.B. Venkateshvararao, a legal expert, criticized the state government for including 14 lakh acres of land in the 22A (prohibited list) without issuing notices to farmers, calling it a legal violation. Speaking at a press conference organized by the Center for Liberty, Venkateshvararao highlighted that the government’s actions have caused mental distress to thousands of farmers. He argued that the inclusion of land in the 22A list without prior notice violates legal procedures and undermines the rights of landowners. Venkateshvararao accused the government of using the 22A list as a tool for revenue generation, suggesting that officials and revenue authorities are prioritizing financial gains over the welfare of farmers. He pointed out that the state’s unilateral decisions to add land to the prohibited list have created uncertainty for rural communities. Farmers, he said, are being manipulated through false claims of removing land from the list, with officials allegedly offering rewards to those who comply with the government’s orders. The legal expert emphasized that the inclusion of land in the 22A list should not be done without due process. He demanded that the government revoke its recent orders and provide relief to 15 lakh affected families. Venkateshvararao also announced plans to establish a relief center in Vijayawada to assist farmers facing legal and administrative challenges. He further called for a thorough review of the government’s actions, stating that the Center for Liberty will continue its efforts to challenge the legality of the 22A list expansions.#farmers #vijayawada #abvenkateshvararao #center_for_liberty #22a_list
