BRS alleges India’s biggest ever land scam in Telangana under Revanth Reddy govt

Main opposition party Bharat Rashtra Samithi has accused the Congress government of setting the stage for ‘India’s biggest ever land loot’ in Telangana under the leadership of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy. The serious allegation came at a news conference addressed by party working president KT Rama Rao at Telangana Bhavan on Friday. He accused the administration of orchestrating a Rs 5 lakh crore land scam involving illegal conversion, undervaluation and reallocation of approximately 9,292 acres of prime industrial lands across Balanagar, Jeedimetla, Sanathnagar, and Azamabad clusters in Hyderabad and its surrounding areas.

The Revanth Reddy government is out to hand over the industrial lands at throwaway regularisation charges of just 30 per cent of the Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) value. “Revanth Reddy has turned these public industrial assets into his personal ATM



and Paytm,” he charged, claiming that the policy is designed to personally benefit the Chief Minister, his family members, in-laws, close friends, loyalists, and a coterie of brokers.

He named several influential individuals – AV Reddy, Krishna Reddy, Kondal Reddy, and Tirupati Reddy — as key players lobbying to grab these lands. “Some agreements have already been signed,” he alleged.

Rama Rao pointed out that in Azamabad industrial area alone, the SRO value is Rs 32,000 per square yard while the actual market value is Rs 1.5 lakh per square yard — nearly five times higher. Under the previous BRS regime, a legislation was made mandating payment of 100 per cent to 200 per cent of SRO rates for any conversion or regularisation required. The Congress government has slashed it to a mere 30 per cent, facilitating windfall gains for select buyers.
