BJP demanded a probe; Assembly got a discussion
The Congress government offered a short-duration discussion on Section 22-A land listings. The BJP wanted a sitting judge and disrupted the Telangana Assembly instead.
The Assembly offered a short-duration discussion on Section 22-A land listings; the demand for a sitting-judge inquiry remained unmet.
BJP MLAs disrupted the Telangana Assembly on September 7, demanding an inquiry by a sitting judge into private land parcels included in the Section 22-A prohibited-properties list. They raised slogans and displayed placards after submitting an adjournment motion on the issue. The House was adjourned for about 15 minutes and later for the day amid continuing protests.
Legislative Affairs Minister D. Sridhar Babu said the Congress government was prepared to allow a short-duration or short-notice discussion, subject to the Business Advisory Committee. Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar also indicated that the issue could be considered through that route. A judicial inquiry, however, was not ordered in the material reviewed.
The BJP has claimed that nearly 50 lakh people are affected, but no government dataset or official enumeration supporting that figure was found. The Bhu Bharati portal does acknowledge that prohibited-property entries can contain errors and provides a grievance process for removal. The Congress government has offered procedure where the BJP demanded a judge. So far, the judge remains theoretical; the procedure has the paperwork.
