Telangana Land War Escalates: BRS Accuses CM Reddy of Controlling 7 Lakh Acres

A political storm is brewing in Telangana as Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader Dasoju Sravan today accused Chief Minister Revanth Reddy of controlling nearly 7 lakh acres of government land, while also dismissing Reddy's recent allegations regarding the long-standing Miyapur land issue. Sravan's sharp remarks come just days after the Supreme Court delivered a crucial verdict on the Miyapur lands, a ruling that has since ignited a fresh war of words between the state's leading political parties. This counter-attack follows CM Revanth Reddy statements on Friday, where he celebrated the Supreme Court decision upholding the state's ownership of 550 acres of Miyapur land, valued at approximately Rs 50,000 crore. Reddy had directly blamed former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), his relative Damodar Rao, and 'Goldstone' Prasad for allegedly attempting to grab these and other valuable government lands, citing misuse of the Dharani portal and manipulation of revenue records under the previous BRS government. The Chief Minister also announced plans to monetize these recovered lands to fund critical irrigation, education, and healthcare projects across Telangana. The ongoing allegations and counter-allegations signal an intensified political rivalry, with the BRS welcoming the Supreme Court verdict but insisting their government also pursued the Miyapur land matter. BRS leaders, including Dasoju Sravan, are now strongly opposing the current government's intent to monetize these public assets, arguing they should instead be used for the welfare of the poor and public infrastructure. With accusations of land grabbing and financial irregularities also previously leveled against Reddy's administration concerning university lands and other allotments, observers are keenly watching how this high-stakes political drama unfolds, potentially shaping future land policies and the political landscape in Telangana.
