BRS working president K. T. Rama Rao turned up the heat on the Telangana Congress government on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, alleging that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is running what he called 'Anumula Hubs' — a pointed reference to what he described as family-driven, crony land allotments dressed up as government schemes, a stark contrast to the startup infrastructure his own government built.

The 'Anumula Hub' Charge and What KTR Alleges

Rama Rao's broadside centres on the Anumula family — a name he invokes repeatedly to suggest that government land is being parcelled out at below-market prices to a politically connected clan. 'If you are one of the Anumula brothers, you get land allotted for dirt cheap. No questions asked,' he wrote, framing it as a zero-accountability patronage operation.

The sharpest allegation targets a person he names as Anumula Kondal Reddy, whom he sarcastically crowns 'innovator of the century' for allegedly founding a defence company — Tesseract Advanced Systems Pvt Limited — with zero investment and generating what he claims was 'at least 200 crore profit overnight.' These are KTR's claims; the specific figures and the company's details relate to post-2023 events and remain unverified independently.

He also directly named Sridhar Babu — widely understood to refer to Telangana's IT Minister — alongside Revanth Reddy, challenging both to 'educate millions of youth of Telangana how to get hundreds of crores worth government land.' The rhetorical sting is deliberate: if this is a replicable formula, why keep it in the family?

T-Hub as the Contrast: BRS's Startup Legacy in the Frame

T-Hub, Hyderabad's flagship startup incubator, was launched in 2015 under the then TRS government with KTR as IT Minister, and has since grown into one of India's most recognised startup ecosystems. Rama Rao's invocation of T-Hub is deliberate — it positions the BRS era as one of institution-building, against what he portrays as the current government's institution-hollowing.

The contrast he draws is blunt: real startups versus family schemes, innovation hubs versus land grabs. Whether that framing holds up to scrutiny is a question the Telangana government has yet to answer publicly.

Congress Yet to Respond; Assembly Accountability the Next Test

As of publication, neither Chief Minister Revanth Reddy nor his cabinet has issued a formal rebuttal to the specific land-allotment allegations. The charges, if pursued in the Telangana Legislative Assembly, could force the government onto the record about its land-use policies and the criteria governing allotments to private defence or technology ventures.

For Telangana's startup founders and the wider investor community watching the state's policy environment, the question is less about political point-scoring and more about whether the rules governing government land remain transparent and uniformly applied.

KTR has framed this as a teachable moment — if the magic trick works, why restrict it to one family? That question, sharp as it is, now sits squarely in the Congress government's court.
