Wednesday’s Monsoon session was a firestorm when Chief Minister Revanth Reddy slammed the opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). He rattled the House with accusations that the BRS had stalled the proceedings to hide a land scandal involving former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR).
Reddy cited government records showing that the KCR family owns roughly 440 acres spread over nine districts, 24 mandals, and 31 villages, including the former chief minister’s farmhouse. He warned that the state would seize any holdings that breached the law and hand them over to Dalit beneficiaries.
The move follows a string of disruptions: 22 BRS MLAs were suspended for the remainder of the session, while KCR has not taken a seat since December 2025. The ruling party has demanded his resignation for non‑attendance.
BRS leaders disputed the allegations, claiming the figures are exaggerated and politically motivated. The opposition also criticized the assembly’s environment, calling for a more transparent investigation process.
The State Vigilance Commission is slated to launch inquiries within the next 48 hours, with preliminary findings expected by the end of next week. The outcome will likely influence the upcoming state elections.
