A fresh controversy was triggered in the Telangana Assembly on Wednesday after Chief Minister Revanth Reddy accused his predecessor and leader of the opposition, K Chandrashekar Rao, of coming from Bihar to “loot” Telangana.
During a debate on land records and Section 22-A properties, Reddy linked his attack on the former Chief Minister to allegations of large-scale land accumulation during the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) regime.
Referring to Rao, commonly known as KCR , and his family, he said they had attempted to “loot” the wealth left behind from the Nizam era.
“Which village are they from? They came from Bihar to loot Telangana. Whatever the Nizam government intended to give to us poor people, Dalits, Adivasis, and minority people, it is not reaching them. Only a single family tried to loot it, and we will not let any such case succeed here. We are standing right here, and whatever they took, we will bring everything out into the open. Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar alleged that the history of the immortals who fought against the Nizam’s autocratic rule is being deliberately erased by the previous BRS and the current Congress governments.
The Nizam government ran this government for 225 years and left everything behind. Union Minister G Kishan Reddy and other BJP leaders have been strongly critical of the earlier BRS government and the ruling government over their approach to September 17.
If it doesn’t come out straight, we know how to bring it out the crooked way,” he said. Reddy also said he had no personal interest in acquiring wealth.
