BRS demands probe into HYDRAA actions with a sitting HC judge
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party is calling for a judicial inquiry into the actions of HYDRAA, alleging that the agency has unfairly targeted the poor while ignoring illegal structures owned by others. The demand follows a High Court ruling regarding the removal of the agency's commissioner.
Why it matters
It highlights the political conflict surrounding urban development, demolition drives, and allegations of selective enforcement in Hyderabad.
The Opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has demanded that the alleged excesses of HYDRAA and its discrimination in taking action on the illegal structures be inquired into with a sitting judge of the High Court.
Speaking to newspersons here on Tuesday, party whip K.P. Vivekanand said the High Court verdict ordering the State Government to remove Commissioner of HYDRAA A.V. Ranganath from the post was a result of a battle waged by BRS on behalf of the poor and middle-class, who were selectively victimised by the agency.
Instead of standing by the people at the time of disasters, HYDRAA was pushing them into disasters and Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, who handles the portfolio of Municipal Administration and Urban Development, had no moral right to continue in the post following the court directions.
