The TRS government has been “deliberately neglecting minor irrigation works and agriculture to usurp land from poor farmers so that party leaders can sell the same for a ‘premium’ later,” charged Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Wednesday.
“If sufficient water is given, their (TRS leaders) ‘shady land deals’ cannot be done. Therefore, they ensure land become dry and fallow before going for the kill by buying the land cheap from poor farmers and later, earning crores of rupees through real estate,” he accused at Kesampet in Rangareddy district.
The BJP leader, who was on the 28th day of his Praja Sangrama Yatra second phase, questioned the delay in taking up Lakshmidevipally reservoir in the area as promised by Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and said that this was because the “real estate dealings reign supreme and not the farmers’ interests”.
