Overview
- BRS leader T. Harish Rao called for an immediate Assembly session, suspension of the Hyderabad industrial land conversion policy, and an inquiry alleging collusion with real estate interests.
- Rao alleged pre-arranged deals and named the Anumula brothers as beneficiaries, framing the plan as a massive transfer of high-value land at throwaway rates.
- BRS says the policy lets holders convert at 30% of sub-registrar value and waives CLU, NALA and HMDA charges, which it claims would forfeit about ₹13,500 crore in HMDA fees.
- Industries Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu called the ₹5 lakh-crore scam allegation baseless, projected ₹4,000–5,000 crore in legitimate revenue, and disputed acreage figures by saying 4,740 acres of privately owned plotted land are in play, not 9,292 acres.
- The government’s brief referenced conversion charges of 30% to 50% of SRO value, while BRS demanded the state retain at least 50% of industrial land and levy much higher conversion fees, citing its past practice of 100%–200% premiums with employment-linked conditions.
