BRS leader KTR challenged CM Revanth Reddy to address the people of Sircilla’s problems and prove his allegations of a land scam with a white paper, criticizing the Congress government for failing to fulfill its promises to various communities.
Demand for White Paper on Land Allegations
KTR demanded a white paper on the Chief Minister’s allegation that 8,000 acres of government land was taken away in Sircilla and that 2,400 acres had been recovered. The government must disclose the complete details, including the mandal, village, survey numbers, extent of land and names of those involved. If the allegations are true, the government must place the facts before the people. If they cannot be proved, the Chief Minister must apologise to the people of Sircilla, according to a party release.
Concerns for Sircilla Weavers
The BRS government provided continuous employment to Sircilla weavers through Bathukamma sarees, school uniforms, KCR Kits, Ramzan and Christmas gift packs and other government orders. “The Congress government stopped these orders, reducing employment opportunities for weavers.” KTR demanded payment of the pending ₹60 crore dues, restoration of the 10 per cent yarn subsidy and revival of the ₹5 lakh Weaver Insurance scheme, as per the release.
