Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Friday, 30 October 2026, alleged that former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) orchestrated an attempt to illegally encroach upon prime government land in Miyapur, Hyderabad, valued at ₹50,000 crore. The accusations came a day after the Supreme Court upheld the Telangana government's claim over a 550-acre plot in the same area, in a case that had dragged on for 23 years.
Supreme Court Verdict and Immediate Action
Addressing a press conference in Delhi, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy described the apex court's ruling as 'historic', crediting it with ensuring that 'valuable public assets remain with the people of Telangana.' Following the verdict, he directed officials to immediately take possession of the 550-acre Miyapur land and fence the entire plot.
He said the Congress party, while in opposition during the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) regime, had actively fought to protect the land. After the Congress came to power in the state, the government pursued the case before the Supreme Court and secured the favourable order.
Allegations Against KCR, KTR and Associates
Revanth Reddy alleged that KCR, his close associate and Rajya Sabha MP Damodar Rao, and the CMD of 'Namasthe Telangana' attempted to grab the Miyapur land using businessman Goldstone Prasad as a front. He further alleged that revenue records were tampered with to facilitate encroachments, and accused those involved of exchanging luxury cars and cash as bribes.
The Chief Minister also alleged that K. T. Rama Rao (KTR) attempted to acquire IMG lands in collusion with the Bhalerao family. He claimed BRS leaders further sought to take over government land at Kancha Gachibowli and Mamidipally, both of which the Congress government defended through litigation. In a separate case, KTR's associates reportedly attempted to encroach upon forest land at Gurramguda — a matter in which the Supreme Court upheld the forest status of the land.
Revanth Reddy also alleged that KTR and Rayalaseema Builders attempted to grab 143 acres at Manchirevula, and that 400 acres of forest land in Jayashankar Bhupalpally district were transferred to an MLA who had defected to BRS. The government contested both cases in court, he said.
Government's Track Record on Land Protection
The Chief Minister claimed that his government has, to date, protected government lands worth ₹1.50 lakh crore from alleged illegal encroachment. He dared both KCR and KTR to debate him in the Assembly on their alleged land encroachments and irregular dealings.
How the Miyapur Land Will Be Used
Revanth Reddy said the Miyapur land, once fully secured, will be used to generate resources for irrigation, education, healthcare, and other development initiatives. A Cabinet decision will determine how proceeds are deployed, with the Chief Minister indicating a preference for education. A Cabinet subcommittee on resource mobilisation has been tasked with studying the proposals and finalising the utilisation plan.
The Supreme Court verdict marks a significant moment in what has been one of Telangana's most contested land disputes, and the political battle over its fallout is expected to intensify ahead of upcoming state political cycles.
Point of View
Spanning multiple districts and family members of KCR, suggests this is less a post-verdict statement and more an opening salvo in a sustained land-accountability offensive. What is notably absent is any independent verification of the revenue-record tampering and bribery claims, which remain allegations at this stage. The real test will be whether the Congress government proceeds with formal criminal proceedings, or whether these charges remain in the realm of press-conference politics.
