Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader T. Harish Rao threatened a statewide political confrontation over the proposed Truck Park land auction in Kukatpally, demanding that the Telangana government immediately withdraw its decision.
The former minister and BRS Legislature Party Deputy Floor Leader visited the Truck Park site at Moosapet on Friday morning. Several party MLAs and MLCs accompanied him during the inspection.
Harish Rao opposed the government’s proposed auction of land earmarked for public use. He warned that the BRS would launch a direct agitation if the authorities proceeded with the sale.
During his visit, he interacted with local residents, truck drivers and workers who raised concerns about the proposed auction. He assured them of the BRS’s support and declared that the party would prevent the sale of the land.
Harish Rao demands cancellation of Truck Park land auction
Harish Rao later joined a dharna organised jointly by the BRS, Communist Party of India (CPI) and Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM). The protest took place at the Truck Park site in Moosapet, within the Kukatpally Assembly constituency.
Addressing reporters, Harish Rao criticised Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s administration and alleged irregularities in government land transactions.
“There is no administration under Revanth Reddy’s rule—only a land scam, a sand scam, and a coal scam. Government land worth ₹1 lakh crore has been put up for sale across the state, and land worth ₹26,000 crore has already been sold,” Harish Rao alleged.
He accused the state government of selling valuable public assets and questioned its handling of government land. The allegations were made during the protest, and the source report did not include a response from the state government.
BRS warns of direct agitation if auction proceeds
Harish Rao issued an ultimatum to the Telangana government over the proposed Truck Park land auction. “On behalf of the BRS, we demand that the auction of the Kukatpally Truck Park land be cancelled immediately. If it is not, we will launch a full-scale direct agitation.”
He reiterated that the party would oppose the proposed sale and support those affected by the government’s decision. Meanwhile, leaders from the CPI and CPM joined the BRS protest against the proposed auction of public utility land.
BRS MLAs Madhavaram Krishna Rao and K.P. Vivekananda Goud participated in the demonstration. MLCs Shambipur Raju and Naveen Rao also attended the protest alongside CPI and CPM leaders and BRS cadre.
The participating parties demanded the withdrawal of the proposed auction and opposed the sale of the Truck Park land at Moosapet.
