BRS accuses Congress govt of manipulating sand revenue

The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) on Friday accused the Congress government in Telangana of misrepresenting sand mining revenue data, alleging sharp price hikes and lack of transparency despite policy changes. 

The party condemned the misleading and distorted figures released by the Congress government and demanded clarification from the Chief Minister’s Office.

Krishank said sand revenue, which stood at Rs 39 crore before 2014, increased significantly during the BRS regime and reached Rs 886 crore by 2015 due to policy reforms. 

He alleged that the current government has failed to sustain revenue growth despite increasing prices and operational changes. 

He said sand was made affordable at Rs 645 per tonne, ensuring accessibility for the common people.
