Cancel auction of Sadavarthi lands: YSRCP

Hyderabad, Jul 5 (UNI) Demanding the cancellation of auction of Sadavarthi temple lands as the procedures were not followed and was auctioned against the guidelines, YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) today said that it would take up the issue at all available forums.
Talking to newsmen here, senior party leader Dharmana Prasada Rao, who headed the fact-finding committee of the entire episode of sale of temple lands said ‘Procedures were not followed in the auction of the Sadavarthi lands located in Tamil Nadu and were given away in open auction for a pittance which goes against the rule of the land and to benefit people at the highest level.’
To auction such land, the normal procedure is to take clearance from the Finance and Law Departments and then get the Cabinet nod besides informing the Governor as the deal comprises the two states. The land auctioned is located in Chennai close to the IT corridor. The High court should also be informed of such a sale as the land was given for a specific purpose and should establish that the purpose, in this case the education needs of poor Brahmins, is no more necessary failing which the very purpose of the Trust would be defeated.
