Hyderabad, Nov.27 (RAHNUMA): BRS Working President KT Rama Rao launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s administration, stating that Revanth Reddy is behaving more like a real estate agent than a Chief Minister.
On Wednesday at Telangana Bhavan, several BJP and Congress leaders from the Kalwakurthy constituency joined the BRS party under the leadership of former MLA Jaipal Yadav. KT Rama Rao welcomed them into the party fold by draping them with pink scarves.
Speaking on the occasion, KTR lashed out at the failures and corruption of the Congress government in the state.
KTR alleged that Revanth Reddy has orchestrated another massive scam under the guise of the HILT Policy. He criticised the Chief Minister for focusing on looting assets—starting with Musi riverfront lands, followed by the Regional Ring Road (RRR) and Central University lands, and now targeting industrial lands in Hyderabad.
The BRS working president expressed anger that lands originally allotted to industrialists at low rates by the government to create employment are now being converted for real estate purposes. He stated that Revanth Reddy is granting permissions at dirt-cheap rates to build apartments and villas on these industrial lands.
“He is handing over nearly 9,300 acres of land to private individuals, effectively mortgaging public assets worth Rs 5 Lakh Crore for the benefit of 500 to 600 people,” KTR alleged.
He questioned whose property the CM thought he was giving away and claimed that half of the proceeds from this deal would go into the pockets of Revanth Reddy and Congress leaders. BRS demanded the immediate withdrawal of this policy that alienates public land to private entities.
KTR slammed the Congress party for cheating Backward Classes (BCs). He recalled that Congress promised 42% reservation for BCs if voted to power but has now deceived them. “While the previous government provided 24% reservation, the current Congress government has reduced it to just 17%,” he pointed out.
He called upon the BC community to teach a lesson to the Congress party for enacting dramas regarding reservations.
