Bharatiya Janata Party candidate for Munugode Assembly constituency bypoll K. Rajgopal Reddy, on Tuesday, has demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), probe into the ‘Dharani’ revenue portal as about 18 lakh acres continues to be in the prohibited list.

“Top leaders of the ruling party are involved in this biggest scam called ‘Dharani’ through which lands belonging to the common people are being usurped. Only six lakh acres has been released after lot of money changed hands and lands worth ₹18 lakh crore is in their control,” he charged, at a press conference at his campaign office.

Flanked by campaign committee chief Vivek Venkatswamy, the former Congress MLA also sought a ‘white paper’ on the functioning of the portal as it is being run by a controversial private entity only to enable the ruling party to have control over the prime land, including those around the capital region.
