Harish seeks judicial probe into 22-A issue, welcomes SIT probe into KCR family lands

BRS Deputy Floor Leader T. Harish Rao has called for a judicial probe into the Section 22-A issue, expressing support for the State Investigation Team's investigation into the KCR family's lands. According to Harish, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy acknowledged the concerns raised by the BRS regarding the prohibited properties issue and demanded an explanation for the significant increase in land under the Section 22-A list.

Harish also demanded a White Paper from the State government detailing the extent of land added to and subsequently removed from the prohibited list. He accused the government of irregularities in the implementation of Bhu Bharati, alleging that more than 9,200 land registrations under the scheme were made without the knowledge of actual owners.

Harish defended the BRS government's record on land-related issues. When questioned about the Chief Minister's claims regarding the land owned by K. Chandrasekhar Rao, his family members, and close relatives, Harish noted discrepancies between the Chief Minister's statements and the documents held by the BRS. He claimed that his own land holdings are accurately declared in his election affidavits and income-tax returns, with no excess land.

Harish rejected allegations concerning his relatives' share purchases and called for an independent investigation if the government has doubts. He emphasized that his party is ready to face any inquiry and does not have anything to hide.
