Tensions escalated in Kokapet as BJP leaders protested against the sale of government lands. The protest was met with swift police action and several BJP workers were arrested.
The Kokapet BJP leaders voiced their opposition to the sale of government lands, expressing their discontent with the alleged indiscriminate selling of valuable lands by the government in Rangareddy.
Bokka Narasimha Reddy, the BJP Rangareddy district president, led the protest and highlighted the actions of minister KTRama Rao in the past. He questioned the logic behind selling precious lands in Telangana today, recalling KTR’s opposition to the same issue in the past.
Reddy condemned the sale of valuable land in areas like Narsinghi, Bandlaguda, Kokapet, and Rajendra Nagar, accusing the government of neglecting the interests of the people and viewing the Rangareddy district solely as a source of revenue.
Narasimha Reddy announced the BJP’s intention to launch an agitation programme to safeguard the interests of the public and vowed to vehemently oppose the sale of government lands. Other leaders present, including Anjan Kumar, pledged their support to the cause.
