» Land Allotments In YSR's Rule Were Cabinet Decisions, Not Mine: Dharmana Prasada Rao
"Land Allotments By Cabinet, Not Me"
The allotments of land to companies and industries during YSR's regime were collective decisions take by the entire cabinet, claims former Revenue Minister Dharmana.
Roads & Buildings Minister Dharmana Prasada Rao, on Saturday, said that the allotments of land to companies and industries during the regime of Y S Rajasekhara Reddy were collective decisions take by the entire cabinet.
Talking to media persons after conducting a review meeting on the Praja Patham program at the Zilla Parishad Hall in Srikakulam district, Dharmana Prasada Rao said that the decisions to allot lands to Vanpic, Penna Cements and other companies were made collectively by YSR's cabinet.
He said that the Revenue Minister alone has no powers to allot even a cent of land to any industries in order to favour them.
Dharmana said that Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu was targeting him on land allotments only to get political mileage on the issue in the upcoming by-elections in Narsannapeta Assembly constituency.
He said that he was ready to cooperate with the CBI in the investigations and provide all evidence and material to the agency in connection with land allotments in the state.
He said, "I am ready to extend my cooperation if the CBI calls me again as part of investigations." (INN)
