Kamareddy Land Dispute Intensifies as BJP MLA Seeks Probe, Six Remanded

A 2015 resolution granting a two-acre lease to an RSS-linked school sits at the center of allegations over college land transfers.

Overview

  • Under house arrest, BJP MLA K. Venkataramana Reddy met District Collector Ashish Sangwan, sought records under the RTI Act, and requested a fact report within a week to 10 days.
  • He denied wrongdoing, highlighted his family’s role in promoting education, and said he would resign if any encroachment is proven.
  • Following a clash in Kamareddy, police reported a car overturned and set on fire, filed cases against six people including a Congress-affiliated former sarpanch and five BJP members, and a court remanded all six to judicial custody.
  • Police tightened security and on Sunday kept Congress advisor Md Shabbir Ali, the MLA, and BJP state president N. Ramchander Rao under house arrest to prevent further flare-ups.
  • Revenue records show the Kamareddy Colleges Educational Society acquired 268.04 acres in 1964, later transferred major portions including under a 2015 move that conditioned a two-acre lease to Vidya Samithi for Saraswati Shishu Mandir, with officials noting seven related court cases are pending.
