Congress brings allegations; documents remain in hiding
Congress leaders alleged land irregularities near T. Harish Rao’s property in Siddipet. The records needed to test the claim are still absent from the public material reviewed.
The allegations are public; the supporting land records have not been produced in the material reviewed.
Congress leaders inspected the Ranganayaka Sagar area on September 18 and demanded an Enforcement Directorate probe into alleged irregularities involving BRS MLA T. Harish Rao, Telangana Today reported. Congress MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy alleged that irrigation-acquired land was transferred to the Siddipet Urban Development Authority, developed as a park and used to benefit a farmhouse near Rao’s property. He also alleged a two-acre purchase for Rs 4 lakh.
Those are allegations, not established facts. The material reviewed contains no survey sketch, sale deed, acquisition order, SUDA file, park plan or government clearance to prove the chain Congress describes. A separate report about Survey No. 271 at Velikatta concerns assigned land and an alleged NOC; it does not establish that this is the same property or transaction.
Rao denied the claims, saying he bought 13 acres by 2024, disclosed his property in election affidavits and used the land only for agriculture. The 2023 affidavit database records agricultural land at Ramancha, but does not settle the encroachment question. Congress has produced a political charge. The paperwork, less theatrically useful and considerably more important, is still missing.
