How did the BRS leaders acquire such huge properties, asks Congress
Congress party leaders in Telangana are conducting field inspections of properties owned by BRS party officials. They allege that former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and his associates acquired these lands and farmhouses through irregular means.
Why it matters
This highlights ongoing political tensions and corruption allegations between the ruling Congress party and the opposition BRS in India's Telangana state.
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.
