BJP and BRS Demand Probe and Resignation Over Telangana Section 22A Land IssuePreviousNext

The BJP has called for a Lokayukta probe into alleged irregularities in Section 22A land transactions in Telangana, urging Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to act and suggesting possible ED and CBI involvement. BJP leaders accuse the Revenue department of including private lands worth nearly ₹1 lakh crore improperly. Meanwhile, the BRS demands the resignation of Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy, blaming him for confusion caused by the prohibited land list and calling for its cancellation. Both parties criticize the handling of the issue and seek accountability.
