The Bharath Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Government has been giving away precious land parcels at ‘throw-away’ prices to the ‘rich’ industrialists, hospitals and others, including his own party, but has been found wanting in giving plots to the poor or handing over the land to journalists society, charged former minister and TS BJP election management committee chairman Eatala Rajender on Tuesday.
Addressing a protest by a section of journalists demanding that the government hand over to the Jawaharlal Nehru Journalists Cooperative Housing Society land in the two designated sites, at the Dharna Chowk (Indira Park) here on Tuesday, Mr. Rajender regretted that those supposed to cover democratic protests and make people aware of the issues have been forced to be on the other side due to the government’s attitude.
The BJP leader questioned the government for keeping the issue pending for years even after the Supreme Court judgement. “What is the reason for this discrimination? Is it because Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao cannot stand those not toeing his line?” he asked.
