Telangana Government Misusing RERA and HYDRAA, Alleges BRS MLC Dasoju Sravan

HYDERABAD: BRS MLC Dasoju Sravan launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, alleging that the government was misusing regulatory bodies such as RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) and HYDRAA (Hyderabad Metropolitan Development and Urban Land Authority). He made these remarks during a press conference at the BRS headquarters in Banjara Hills.

Addressing the media, Sravan accused the chief minister of collecting what he termed as ‘RR tax’ for granting permissions. He further alleged that the government was indifferent to the functioning of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA). According to Sravan, thousands of files seeking approvals are still pending in both departments, causing significant delays and inefficiencies.

Sravan also criticized Revanth Reddy's personal lifestyle, pointing out that he wears a belt, watch, and shoes worth lakhs of rupees, yet still claims to be a common man. He accused the CM of having a ‘feudal mentality’ and warned that his proposal to increase land registration charges would have a severe impact on the infrastructure and real estate sectors.

The MLC further questioned why Revanth Reddy repeatedly praises his ‘Raja Guru’ and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, while refusing to acknowledge the ‘visionary leadership’ of former CM K Chandrashekar Rao and former minister K T Rama Rao. He argued that this selective praise reflects a lack of respect for the contributions of local leaders and institutions.

Sravan also highlighted the declining state of Hyderabad, which he referred to as the ‘revenue engine of Telangana.’ He warned that the city's economic and infrastructural progress is being hampered by the government's policies and mismanagement. The MLC called for a more transparent and accountable governance model to ensure the city's continued growth and development.

In conclusion, Sravan's allegations have sparked a debate about the government's role in regulating the real estate and infrastructure sectors. The opposition is calling for a thorough investigation into the allegations and for the government to address the concerns raised by Sravan and other critics.
