Bandi Sanjay alleges large-scale land encroachments under BRS rule

Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar has alleged that BRS leaders had encroached upon thousands of acres of land during the party’s nearly decade-long rule and demanded that the land be recovered and distributed among the poor.

Nearly 60% of Telangana’s population did not own land and 25 lakh families did not have even a small plot to build a house, he claimed while speaking to the media at Kothapalli near Karimnagar on Wednesday night. The BJP would launch a ‘Dandayatra’ against the alleged land encroachments, Mr. Sanjay said.

“What happened to the SIT probes into the alleged irregularities relating to power purchase agreements, Formula E Race, Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project and sheep scheme?” he asked.
