BRS MP Vaddiraju Ravichandra has alleged that the Telangana government is seeking to sell 550 acres of public land in Hyderabad’s Miyapur area, claiming the move could transfer a high-value urban asset to alleged proxies and deprive future generations of its social benefits. The allegation was made at a media interaction in Khammam on Saturday and has not been independently established in the material supplied for this report.
Ravichandra alleged that the Miyapur land is worth more than Rs 25,000 crore and said former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao had taken steps to protect the parcel from alienation. According to the BRS MP, the previous government had engaged advocate Vaidyanathan to pursue a legal battle in the Supreme Court over the land.
He further alleged that the Supreme Court delivered a verdict in favour of the State government and that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy subsequently began efforts to sell the land. The report does not provide the text of the court judgment, details of any sale notification, tender document or government order supporting or disproving the claim.
The Miyapur allegation places the management of public land at the centre of a wider political dispute over how Hyderabad’s remaining large land parcels should be used. Such land can serve multiple public purposes, including infrastructure, public institutions, housing or planned urban development. The report, however, does not specify any officially announced sale process, proposed buyer, reserve price, development plan or implementation timeline for the 550 acres.
Ravichandra also accused the Chief Minister, ministers and ruling-party legislators of acting as real estate developers and encroaching on land. These are political allegations made by the BRS MP and were not supported by documentary evidence in the supplied report. He criticised the Congress government’s decision to rebrand a project acquired under the BRS regime for a proposed Pharma City as a Future City, alleging that the change was intended to serve private interests.
The MP also criticised the State government’s administration and its handling of the Kaleshwaram project. He alleged that the Chief Minister had travelled to Delhi nearly 90 times during his 34-month tenure and had failed to secure funds from the Union government. He further claimed that the government had not carried out repairs to collapsed pillars of the Kaleshwaram project despite advice from senior dam safety officials, allowing around 800 TMC of Godavari water to flow downstream.
Those wider allegations were made alongside the Miyapur land claim and were not independently verified in the source material. The immediate public-interest issue is whether any formal action has been initiated to sell or otherwise alienate the 550-acre parcel, what legal protections apply to it, and whether the State government has issued an official response. No such response or supporting government documentation was included in the report.
