KTR challenges Revanth to order judicial probe into assets of both families

KTR said the inquiry should cover every acre of land and every rupee of assets acquired by the two families and added that the BRS was prepared to face any legal consequences if any wrongdoing was established against its leaders

KTR challenges Revanth to order judicial probe into assets of both families

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) chief K.T. Rama Rao challenged Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to order a judicial inquiry into the assets of both families. Speaking at a press conference on Telangana National Integration Day, KTR demanded that the inquiry cover every piece of land and asset held by Revanth Reddy and BRS president K. Chandrashekar Rao.

He was prepared to face any legal repercussions if the inquiry uncovered wrongdoing within the BRS leadership. KTR also proposed extending the current Assembly session by one month and rescinding the suspension of BRS legislators to allow the opposition to discuss issues related to the Congress government's electoral promises. He pointed out discrepancies between Revanth Reddy's earlier statements about Revancha Rao's farmhouse in Erravelli, noting that the Chief Minister initially claimed a 1,000-acre property, then later stated 67 acres.

KTR asked the Chief Minister to clarify the ownership of the remaining 933 acres of land and offered to register it in the government's name if the claim proved true. He defended his own wealth, noting he obtained an MBA in the United States and worked abroad for over six years before entering politics. KTR alleged that BRS legislators were suspended from the Assembly due to the government's reluctance to address questions about its promises.

He also criticized Revanth Reddy's speech in the Assembly, suggesting several claims against the previous administration lacked supporting evidence. KTR criticized the government's handling of properties listed under Section 22-A of the Registration Act, alleging an excessive number of privately-owned properties were included and the government was obstructing landowners in removing them from the prohibited properties list.
