The whole opposition is crying foul over continuing suicides by construction workers due to lack of works in Andhra. However, AP Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy dismisses their allegations as incorrect and politically motivated. He says it is not correct to say there is no work for daily wage workers. It was during the previous TDP regime that everybody faced problems due to sand mafia and too much corruption.
Jagan says that the construction workers will find more work in the coming days. How is he going to create those job opportunities. He asks officials to create work for construction workers at the sand reaches. Analysts say that the masons, plumbers and electricians would not be able to take up such works. They will be comfortable only in construction works relating to buildings, apartment complexes, real estate ventures and government projects. All government construction projects came to a standstill under Jagan. Even individuals reduced their building works in view of very high prices of sand.
On the other hand, Jagan says all steps are being taken to set right the system. The previous regime totally damaged the sand mining and transportation policies with its illegal activities. CM says that sand mining will be increased the moment floods will recede. But workers want work but not promises any more as it is not election season.
