Perapalla ‘benamis’? Show us the papers
NKLIS land list shows 61.47 acres in Perapalla. A report screams 371.10 acres and a looming 100 more — with “benami” payouts. The documents don’t back that leap yet. The Congress government owes Narayanpet a straight answer, not slogans.
The published record lists 61.47 acres in Perapalla; larger figures remain to be documented.
Perapalla is on the Narayanpet–Kodangal Lift Irrigation Scheme map, and the district’s own acquisition declaration says so — three entries of 3.27, 14.11 and 44.09 acres, totalling 61.47 acres. That is the record a reader can check today.
What it does not show is the 371.10 acres a report claimed were already acquired in Perapalla, or the extra 100 acres said to be coming in a week. It also does not show the “benami” tenant roll, Rs 20 lakh-per-acre payouts, or any JCB-levelling spree on government land. Those are allegations without documents, names or an official inquiry on the record.
The scheme itself is not in dispute. The Telangana government says the project is under construction; the Chief Minister inspected works in June and told officials to push ahead. In May, he said land acquisition was complete and funds would be sanctioned. Fine — then the Congress-run administration can also publish the Perapalla notifications, award proceedings and beneficiary lists and settle the number mismatch it helped create.
Until then, the only hard figure online for Perapalla is 61.47 acres. The rest is either wider-project acreage being passed off as one village or political noise the Congress government hasn’t bothered to clear up.
