Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President & MP A. Revanth Reddy has alleged that several TRS Ministers, MLAs, Corporators and their relatives were involved in land grabbing, illegal encroachments, and constructions in Hyderabad and its outskirts.
In an open letter to Municipal Administration Minister K. Tarakarama Rao on Monday, Revanth Reddy alleged that many ruling party leaders have encroached upon government lands and lakes while carrying out illegal constructions in Greater Hyderabad. He said that the authorities were taking no action despite furnishing documentary evidence against the TRS leaders. He said Minister KTR was acting as a mute spectator to those illegal activities by his party leaders. He said the recent drive taken up by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) against encroachments and illegal constructions was an eye wash as no action was taken against any TRS leader.
Revanth Reddy pointed out that in Survey No. 488 in Jawahar Nagar, Minister Ch. Malla Reddy allegedly encroached upon a land, illegally constructed a building, and also established a hospital. He said getting permission to start a hospital was not easy as the management needs to fulfill several conditions. However, the minister got all the clearances to run a hospital in an illegal building constructed on an encroached piece of land. Who will be accountable if anything goes wrong in that hospital? he asked.
Similarly, he said a ruling TRS party leader has grabbed 1,000 sq yards to illegally construct a commercial complex in Peerzadiguda. He also violated the HMDA rules to construct a function hall. Although both the issues were prominently exposed by the local media, no action has been taken against him, he said.

In Devar Yamjal Survey No. 437, KTR’s family members have allegedly encroached upon temple land and the same is being used to run TRS mouthpieces – Namasthe Telangana and Telangana Today dailies. He said the building was constructed in violation of Defence rules which prohibit structures beyond 45 feet. He said he had personally visited the area and inspected the encroachments. He said despite the matter getting exposed, the HMDA authorities took no action although they notified the building as illegal.
Similarly, he said a company owned by a minister’s relative has constructed luxury villas near Sunnam Cheruvu in Guttala Begumpet. In order to escalate the prices of those luxury villas, the GHMC has illegally constructed a road on the lake itself. He said that lake was spread across 32 acres and as per GO 168, any water body spread on more than 25 acres would have a buffer zone of 30 metres. However, he said that the GHMC itself constructed a road on the lake to benefit the minister’s relative.
In Suraram, he said TRS Minister Malla Reddy, his son Bhadra Reddy and five others have blocked the passage to 20 Guntas of land owned by a woman Shyamala Devi while constructing a hospital. He said the woman has lodged a complaint with the Dundigal Police Station alleging threat to her life by the Minister and his men who want her to sell away her land.
Revanth Reddy alleged that Minister KTR was not taking any action against the irregularities of TRS leaders. Except for occasional intervention by the officials, no action was even taken against the land grabbers who belong to the ruling party. “Why are you not stopping those irregularities? Do you have a share or stake in those dealings?” he asked KTR.

The TPCC President demanded that stern action be taken against the TRS leaders who were involved in land grabbing and illegal constructions in Greater Hyderabad before the end of ongoing Parliament session. Else, he said that the Congress party workers would launch serious agitation against the illegal encroachments and constructions by the TRS leaders.
