ADILABAD: Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy on Friday said the people of Telangana were against the Dharani 2020 and dumped the BRS in the Bay of Bengal and voted the Congress to power. He said the Congress government would resolve the problems related to seven lakh acres of land, out of the 18 lakh acres kept in Part B in the Dharani portal.
“Lakhs of people and farmers had suffered from the Dharani, losing their land and ownership. They were in favour of the Bhu Bharati to resolve their long pending land-related problems, and that is how Indiramma Rajyam came into power in the state,” he said.
Srinivas Reddy said that the government would constitute a committee to look into the problems faced by the tribals and non-tribals regarding land in the agency areas and would evolve an amicable permanent solution without violating the 1/70 Act.
Srinivas Reddy was speaking at a Bhu Bharati awareness meeting organised at Pusai in Jainad mandal in which farmers and local people participated in Adilabad district.
He said the state government would do justice even to BRS leaders facing land-related problems with Dharani.
Srinivas Reddy said people need not panic if mistakes were made, as they would corrected with Bhu Bharati in a one-year period. Villagers need not go to the revenue officials; instead, revenue officials will come to the revenue villages to resolve the land-related problems.
The minister alleged that the BRS government issued pattas showing more land than the physical land to benefit its leaders under Rythu Bandhu and said he hoped that the Bhu Bharati will bring change in the society as far as land ownership is concerned.
“The BRS government literally failed to make changes in the Dharani to do justice to the applicants even after noticing the mistakes,” he said and added that the BRS and did not frame the rules to rectify the mistakes in its regime and this situation led to suicides by many farmers who lost their land and right on the lands due to Dharani’.
Rural development minister Danasari Anasuya Seetakka said having rights on a piece of land was nothing but self-respect and an asset for poor families and hoped that the Bhu Bharati Act will bring positive changes as far as ownership of the land was concerned.
She appealed to the officials concerned to be careful while resolving the land-related issues with Bhu Bharati and not to commit mistakes as were made in Dharani. Srinivas Reddy also clarified doubts raised by Adilabad MP Godam Nagesh and MLA Payal Shankar.
