BRS files Lokayukta complaint over ₹7 crore land deal linked to Telangana CM's brother
Synopsis
BRS has taken its sharpest attack on Telangana CM Revanth Reddy to the Lokayukta, alleging that a company run by his brother and nephew — reportedly with zero employees and a fake phone number — received five acres of prime government land worth up to ₹200 crore for just ₹7 crore. The phone number, flagged by K.T. Rama Rao, was reportedly changed overnight.
Key Takeaways
BRS filed a Lokayukta complaint on 14 August against Telangana CM A.
Revanth Reddy over an alleged irregular land deal.
Five acres of government land in Raviryal, Rangareddy district , valued at ₹135–₹200 crore , was allegedly allotted for just ₹7 crore .
The beneficiary company, Tessaract Advanced Systems Private Limited , reportedly had zero employees and paid-up capital of ₹1 lakh as of 31 March 2025 .
CM's brother Kondal Reddy and nephew Nayan Reddy are identified as Chairman and CEO of Tessaract, reportedly assuming those roles five months before the June 2025 allotment.
BRS has demanded cancellation of the allotment and a probe into Industries Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu and TGIIC officials.
The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) on 14 August formally lodged a complaint before the Telangana Lokayukta against Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, alleging that five acres of prime government land in Rangareddy district — valued between ₹135 crore and ₹200 crore — was allocated to a company linked to his family for just ₹7 crore. The opposition party has demanded immediate cancellation of the allotment and a full inquiry under the Lokayukta Act.
The Complaint and Who Filed It
A BRS delegation comprising MLCs Dasoju Sravan Kumar and Mankena Kotireddy, MLAs Kaleru Venkatesh, Mutha Gopal, and Sanjay Kalvakuntla, along with BRS Social Media Convenor Manne Krishank, submitted the complaint in person. The delegation presented what it described as documentary evidence of the allegedly irregular transaction.
The land in question is located at Raviryal in Rangareddy district and was allotted to Tessaract Advanced Systems Private Limited, a company the BRS characterises as a 'shell' firm. The party has also sought a probe into the roles of Industries Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu and officials of the Telangana Government Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TGIIC).
What BRS Says About Tessaract Advanced Systems
According to the BRS representation, the company's annual report for the financial year ending 31 March 2025 declares zero employees and a paid-up capital of just ₹1 lakh. The delegation further alleged that a ground-level inspection found the registered premises to be a small godown or shop-front, contradicting the company's stated focus on aerospace and defence precision manufacturing, forging, and casting.
The BRS also flagged that the company's website listed a phone number — '+1 2345 6789' — which it described as fake. According to the party, after BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao publicly highlighted the discrepancy with evidence, the number was quietly changed overnight.
The Family Connection Alleged by BRS
The BRS pointed to publicly available professional profiles to establish a family link. The Chief Minister's younger brother, Kondal Reddy, reportedly identifies himself as an industrialist building aerospace and defence capabilities through Tessaract on his verified LinkedIn profile, and has participated in international forums including the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) and the US Congressional Staff Delegation Roundtable as Chairman of Tessaract Advanced Systems.
Kondal Reddy's son, Nayan Reddy, reportedly declared in his verified profile that he has served as full-time Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Tessaract since January 2025 — nearly five months before the land allocation in June 2025. The BRS argued this timeline establishes that two members of the Chief Minister's family assumed control of the company well ahead of the allotment.
What Happens Next
The Lokayukta is yet to formally respond to the complaint or announce whether an inquiry will be initiated. The BRS has demanded that the land allocation be suspended pending investigation. There has been no official response from the Chief Minister's office or the Telangana government as of the time of this report. The allegations, if taken up by the Lokayukta, could trigger a formal probe into the TGIIC's allotment process and the role of senior ministers.
Point of View
₹1 lakh in paid-up capital, and a demonstrably fake phone number receiving government land worth up to ₹200 crore for ₹7 crore is a factual sequence that demands a response, not just a rebuttal. The overnight change of the phone number, if verified, is the kind of detail that tends to linger. The real question is whether the Lokayukta, an institution whose independence varies by state, will take cognisance or allow the complaint to stall — a pattern seen in politically sensitive land cases across India. Telangana's TGIIC allotment process is now squarely in the spotlight.
