A delegation, comprising Bhongir MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy, Nagarkurnool MP Mallu Ravi, and MLAs, inspected the land and farmhouses in Aziznagar and Moinabad on Sunday.
A delegation of Congress MPs, MLAs, and other leaders alleged that the BRS leadership had accumulated extensive landholdings and built farmhouses across the State, and questioned the source of the properties acquired by former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s family and other BRS leaders.
The delegation, comprising Bhongir MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy, Nagarkurnool MP Mallu Ravi, and MLAs, inspected the land and farmhouses in Aziznagar and Moinabad on Sunday and said that the visits were part of a campaign to bring alleged irregularities in land transactions and farmhouse construction into the public domain.
Mr. Kiran Kumar Reddy said the Congress team had earlier inspected the farmhouse associated with former Minister T. Harish Rao in Siddipet and lands in Janwada, and was now examining properties in Aziznagar and Moinabad. He said Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy had referred to some of these lands in the Legislative Assembly.
He asked how properties in Erravelli, Ranganaik Sagar, Janwada, Aziznagar and Moinabad came to be associated with the KCR family.
He also questioned whether KCR had disclosed the Erravelli farmhouse in his 2004 election affidavit and whether his son K.T. Rama Rao had mentioned the Janwada farmhouse when he contested the 2009 Assembly election.
Targeting Mr. Harish Rao, he asked how properties that, according to him, were not reflected in the former Minister’s 2004 affidavit had subsequently come into his possession.
At the Moinabad farmhouse of former BRS MLA Pilot Rohith Reddy, the Congress MPs alleged that the property fell within the purview of assigned land and questioned how permission had been given to construct a farmhouse there.
Mr. Kiran Kumar Reddy alleged that the BRS leadership had introduced a “farmhouse culture” in Telangana and said the Congress representatives were undertaking field visits to place before people the details of the land and farmhouse-related allegations.
