Raghunandan Rao pointed to 450 acres of surplus land located between Kondakal village in Shankarapalli mandal and Velimala village in Ramchandrapuram mandal. He stated that in 1993, tribals were farming on this land and had appealed for land titles. The government later allocated 170 acres for industrial purposes, while the remaining surplus land was allotted to Velimala village, with the government directing that titles be issued to those in possession.
He alleged that former TRS leaders had attempted to take control of this land, and one such leader has now joined Congress. Ultimately, 85 acres remained in dispute. On the 8th of this month, the High Court ruled that police should not interfere in these lands. However, despite this order, Raghunandan Rao claimed that police officials are constructing walls on the disputed land.
He further alleged that lands worth ₹1,500 crore (₹15 billion) are being tied up with a particular individual, raising concerns about corruption and unlawful land dealings. His remarks have intensified the political debate over land allocations and government actions in Telangana.
