Govt has no intention of amending 1/70 Act, says CM
The New Indian Express Anantapur
|February 12, 2025
COMMENTS made by Assembly Speaker Ch Ayyanna Patrudu regarding the 1/70 Act have sparked strong reactions from the tribal community in North Andhra and other parts of the State.
In response to the protests, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu took to X to highlight the initiatives taken by the TDP government to improve the lives of tribals, including promoting agency products. He pointed out that GO MS No-3 was implemented by the TDP government in undivided Andhra Pradesh and criticised the previous YSRCP government for creating legal obstacles to its full implementation. The CM reiterated that the government had no intention of amending the 1/70 Act, which he said was crucial for protecting the assets of tribes in the agency area, and urged the tribal community not to believe in rumours surrounding the Act.
