BRS accuses Revanth Reddy of targeting university lands for real estate projects

BRS MLC Dasoju Sravan lambasted the Congress government and Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for attempting to convert lands belonging to government educational institutions into real estate assets.

He demanded the immediate withdrawal of the notices issued to Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU), calling it a direct assault on minority education.

Speaking at a press meet at Telangana Bhavan on Thursday, Sravan warned that the BRS would stand with students and faculty in protecting MANUU lands, just as it did during the Kancha Gachibowli land issue.

He said the university was already suffering from inadequate land despite running 26 departments, and instead of attempting to seize its property, the government should allocate at least Rs 1,000 crore for



its development.

Accusing the Chief Minister of turning into a real estate vulture, the BRS MLC alleged that the Congress government was trying to grab 50 acres belonging to the Urdu University.

“Revanth Reddy’s behaviour is nothing short of licensed looting,” he said, adding that attempts were reportedly being made to target Indian School of Business (ISB) lands as well.

He questioned whether such decisions were discussed in the Cabinet and criticised the Chief Minister for acting like a real estate middleman rather than an administrator. He warned against meddling with educational institutions.

He called on the Muslim community and students to oppose what he termed an anti-education and anti-minority agenda of the government.
