BJP Munugode Candidate Rajagopal Reddy Alleges Rs 18 Lakh Crore Land Scam By TRS Government

Rajagopal Reddy, who has already filed a nomination for November 3 by-election, claimed that it is the biggest land scam in the country.

BJP party candidate in the Munugode by-election Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy has alleged that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and his family has encroached lands worth Rs 18 lakh crore around Hyderabad by bringing the Dharani portal.

Rajagopal Reddy has hit back at CM KCR's family after being accused of switching loyalties to the BJP after receiving a contract for Rs 18,000 crore from the Center. 

Rajagopal Reddy, who has already filed a nomination for November 3 by-election, claimed that it is the biggest land scam in the country. He demanded that the Telangana government issue a white paper on the Dharani portal.

The state government launched the Dharani portal in 2020 for the online registration of properties in Telangana. The portal is billed as a one-stop source for all revenue records.

Rajagopal Reddy's counter-claim came after Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) launched a vehement attack on him for leaving the Congress party and joining the BJP after the BJP-led government at the Centre awarded his company a contract worth Rs 18,000 crore.

Reddy has received criticism from the TRS and Congress for imposing a bypoll on Munugode for the sake of the contract.

Working president of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) KT Rama Rao said on Tuesday said the party would withdraw its Munugode bypoll candidate if the BJP government at the Centre offered an amount equal to the contract value awarded to BJP candidate Rajagopal Reddy for the development of the constituency.

KTR said that he was committed to the word given by Energy Minister Jagadish Reddy that TRS would withdraw its candidate if the Centre gave Rs 18,000 crore for the development of Nalgonda.

Meanwhile, posters have come up in the constituency highlighting that Rajagopal Reddy switched loyalties to the BJP after bagging the Rs 18,000 crore contract.

The posters have come up in the format of a digital payment app, similar to the 'PayCM' posters seen in Karnataka recently used by the Congress to target Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai. Using a fictitious name "ContractPe", it declares that Rs 18,000 crore contract was awarded to Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy.
