He said the party would approach the Governor with a formal complaint. At the same time, he alleged that the Minister acted with unchecked authority and ignored law enforcement systems in the State.
Further, he claimed that more irregularities would surface soon. He also alleged that a “goonda raj” prevailed, where land was taken forcibly and dissent invited threats.
The BRS leader assured support to the affected landowners, Satish and Pallavi. Meanwhile, he alleged that the issue extended beyond a single property and involved broader dealings.
He claimed that a business link between Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy enabled such actions. In addition, he alleged that authorities transferred a police officer, Habibullah, after he registered an FIR in the case.
He further alleged that the Congress government expanded land records under the Dharani portal from 20 lakh acres to one crore acres. Moreover, he claimed officials used the prohibited list to pressure citizens and demand a 50 percent share in lands.
He called on victims facing similar issues to approach Telangana Bhavan. He added that the party would extend political and legal support to affected persons.
