Telugu Desam Party politburo member E Peddireddy today flayed the Telangana government for "forcibly" acquiring lands from the farmers of Karimnagar, flouting the Hyderabad High Court's verdict on GO 123.
Reddy alleged that despite the HC's judgment, the government was acquiring lands from the farmers of the Karimnagar district for the Medigadda reservoir.
He claimed that in Suraram village of the Manthani mandal, the government had acquired five acres of land from a farmer named Swaroopa without prior notice, following which she committed suicide.
He criticized the KCR-led government for ignoring the Land Acquisition Act 2013 which was passed by the Parliament, passing its own laws instead.
