22-A land row: BRS asks for the receipts
BRS leaders accused Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of misleading the Assembly over prohibited land. The documents needed to settle the argument remain absent.
The 22-A dispute awaits a survey-wise paper trail.
The 22-A land dispute has produced plenty of political certainty and very little survey-wise paperwork. BRS leaders Guntakandla Jagadish Reddy and Vemula Prashanth Reddy accused Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and the Congress government in Telangana of misleading the Assembly over prohibited lands and demanded a sitting-judge inquiry covering both governments. Their allegations were made at a Telangana Bhavan press conference on September 16, according to a report on the event. [1]
Reports of the Assembly discussion said Revanth Reddy ordered an inquiry into land linked to K Chandrashekar Rao’s family, proposed recovering government land for eligible poor people and announced a mechanism to examine 22-A and Dharani-related disputes. The figures reported — including 67 acres, 123 acres, nearly 440 acres and about 700 acres — vary between accounts and have not been matched to an official Assembly transcript, survey register or departmental statement.

The Bhu Bharati portal does confirm that prohibited-property entries can contain errors, including cases where an entire survey number is classified despite only part being acquired, and provides a grievance process for correction. It does not settle the claims about any named property.

For now, 22-A has more allegations than documents.
