Dharani portal is biggest scam of BRS govt.: BJP

The Dharani revenue portal is the biggest scam of the BRS government, even bigger than the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project, where small and marginal farmers have lost their lands with no scope for redressal of their grievances, charged senior BJP leader, former Union Minister and Rajya Sabha MP Prakash Javadekar on Friday.

“This government has robbed people’s lands and it has to pay a price. It is a serious crime tampering with the land records and every citizen had faced problems with the portal. It is going to be one of the main issues in the manifesto which will be released tomorrow by Union Home Minister Amit Shah,” he told a press conference.

Flanked by TS BJP president and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy, Rajya Sabha MP K. Laxman and other leaders, he pointed out that there were village records earlier that are not available now as the government had snatched away the rights. Gram Sabhas used to be held to ratify any transactions and verify the ground-level data but it is not happening now with the village level officers shifted to other departments.
