#WATCH | Hyderabad: On BRS MLAs and MLCs meeting the Governor of Telangana, Shiv Pratap Shukla, and submitting a formal complaint seeking an inquiry into the alleged illegal mining and land-grabbing activities of Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, BRS MLC Dasoju Sravan says, "Unfortunately, the Telangana government and particularly Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy have turned out to be land grabbers...This is 27 acres of land... They conducted their Mandal survey in 2018 and built a massive compound around this entire land. Subsequently, they have done another survey under the direction of the High Court. A small portion of this land was acquired from these landowners by the HMDA (Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority)... These incidents amplify that they are the legitimate owners sitting on three survey numbers, 169, 244, and 245. Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy and his son run a company called Raghava Constructions... They came and said that we have a development agreement with the neighbouring landowners. We require your land... The moment they refused to give their land for the development, a new game was started by the revenue minister. His own assistant director initiated an AD survey, which was illegal, the High Court has condoned it, and put a stay on the entire survey...The hooligans tried to penetrate this land and then demolish the compound wall. When the landowners tried to file a complaint, the police did not help them. Today, under the leadership of our leader, KT Rama Rao and Harish Rao, some MLAs have come here to extend their solidarity to these victims... The police, revenue authorities and the minister all have colluded to encroach upon this land..."
