BRS leader T. Harish Rao brands CM Revanth Reddy’s Supreme Court win as “credit chori” in Miyapur land case

Senior BRS leader T. Harish Rao on Saturday called Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s claim of winning the Miyapur land case in the Supreme Court “credit chori”. Rao said the BRS government had secured the case before 2023, pointing out that of the 192 hearings, 86 were argued by C.S. Vaidyanathan appointed by the BRS, while only 11 took place after the Congress took power. He alleged the chief minister was trying to sell 550 acres of Miyapur land even before receiving the court’s judgment. Rao also blamed the previous Congress government for weakening the 2010 Greyhounds Manchirevulu land case by using a Government Pleader instead of the Advocate General. He noted that the KCR government filed an appeal on May 19 2017, the High Court gave a favourable division‑bench ruling on Dec 31 2021 and the Supreme Court issued its final verdict on Aug 1 2023, securing 142 acres for the Greyhounds police unit. Rao claimed the 30‑year‑old Greyhounds compound wall was razed overnight and a new wall erected within two days, leaving 10.10 acres to private owners. He said the land appeared as zero‑value in Gandipet SRO document 8886/2026 despite a market value of ₹45.39 crore, and was registered to Dream Valley (Santosh Reddy) without the 7.5 % registration fee. He added that twenty more registrations aimed to siphon about ₹1,000 crore, while the official records still list the land under Greyhounds. Rao said the Revanth Reddy government did not appeal the cancellation of a notification on another 10 acres meant for the Greyhounds firing range, and warned that the total Manchirevulu land scam amounted to roughly ₹2,000 crore, noting that the BRS had previously sent Goldstone Prasad to jail. ## Context The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) is a regional party in Telangana, and the Greyhounds are a specialised police unit that handles anti‑Naxal operations. Land disputes involving government‑owned parcels are common flashpoints in state politics, often leading to legal battles that span multiple administrations.
