BJP Slams KCR Over Kokapet Land Given To BRS At Throwaway Price

BJP Telangana president and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar today demanded that the State government immediately withdraw the land allotment to the ruling BRS in the Kokapet area.

He warned that the BJP would hold massive agitation programs if the State government did not fulfil its demand.

Coming down heavily on the CM K Chandrashekar Rao on the issue, he asked the CM if he was the landlord of the Kokapet lands.

He asked how the State government could allot 11 acres of land to the BRS at a rate of Rs 7,500 per yard in the area, where the HMDA was selling government lands for Rs 1 lakh per square yard.

Claiming that the total value of the land being allotted to the BRS was Rs 550 crore, he wondered how such an expensive piece of land could be allotted to the ruling party for less than Rs 40 crore.

He alleged that the recent cabinet meeting was convened to give away the land, and that the details of the allotment were not disclosed to the media.

He said that KCR had already grabbed land for setting up party offices in 33 districts, including the party's State office.

Commenting on the abrogation of GO MS No 111, he termed it as a multi-lakh crore scam, and added that KCR's family and BRS leaders had purchased 100 acres of land from the poor at a low price citing the GO.

He said that the BJP would launch a large-scale movement to expose the government's land grab to the people.
