Cong leaders grabbing Hyderabad Pharma City compensation land: KTR

Hyderabad, July 2 (UNI) Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President K T Rama Rao (KTR) on Wednesday alleged that the ruling Congress leaders are grabbing Hyderabad pharma city compensation lands.
In a statement, he criticised the Congress leaders for forcibly registering their names in the residential plots allotted by the KCR government as compensation to displaced farmers in Maheshwaram and Ibrahimpatnam constituencies of Ranga Reddy district.
“These Congress leaders, who would even steal from the five elements, are shamelessly looting farmers who gave lands for the development of the state,” KTR lashed out.
He reminded that the Congress party came to power promising to cancel Pharma City and return land to the farmers - a promise he said they have now completely forgotten.
KTR recalled that farmers voluntarily gave land in support of former CM KCR's visionary plan to set up the Green Pharma City across 19,400 acres., however, in return, the BRS government provided generous compensation- Rs 16.5 lakh per acre for patta land and Rs 8.5 lakh per acre for assigned land- and allotted 1,400 acres in Mir Khanpet of Kandukur mandal to distribute residential plots.

A large layout was developed over 560 acres, with 121 sq. yards of residential plot offered for every acre surrendered, he said..
However, due to the assembly elections, the land distribution process was temporarily paused and now, the Revanth Reddy-led Congress government is deliberately withholding land handovers for the last 18 months to loot them, KTR alleged.
He also pointed out that a 330-foot-wide greenfield road alignment was fixed right through this layout, causing further injustice to farmers.
KTR slammed the Congress leaders for abusing their power and shamelessly exploiting Telangana’s people.
He alleged that some Congress leaders are intimidating farmers and buying their plots for throwaway prices. While the market rate is ₹30,000 per sq. yard, these leaders are purchasing plots at just ₹4,000–₹5,000 per sq. yard through coercion.
“Revanth Reddy promised to return the land, but now his party leaders are looting the rightful plots of farmers in broad daylight,” KTR condemned.
He demanded that the state government immediately intervene, cancel all illegal registrations being done by Congress leaders, and ensure that the lands are rightfully handed over to the farmers.
