Govt. resumed 25 lakh acres assigned land with Dharani help, alleges Revanth

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A. Revanth Reddy has alleged that the “BRS government had resumed about 25 lakh acres of land assigned to Dalit and tribal communities with the help of Dharani (online land records management system) and doing real estate business with it”.

Speaking after welcoming BJP State executive member N.P. Venkatesh and others from Mahabubnagar constituency at his residence here on Friday, Mr. Reddy asked whether the State government was ready to hold Gram Sabhas in the 12,000 odd Gram Panchayats to know facts about the extent of assigned land resumed in every village.

He reiterated that the Congress would scrap the Dharani system at any cost after coming to power, as there is no title guarantee to land assigned to Dalit and tribals under the new system. The Congress government would bring in a better system than Dharani for protection of assigned land, he said.
