HYDERABAD: Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy on Monday said that the state government would conduct ‘Revenue Sadassulu’ from March 1 to clear around 2.45 lakh pending Dharani applications and resolve land-related issues.
He said that around 2.45 lakh Dharani applications, which were received by the officials during the BRS regime, were still pending. Tahsildars would conduct meetings to resolve these applications from March 1 to 7 across the state, the minister said. He also said that the state government would release a white paper on Dharani portal too. The government has already released white papers on irrigation, power and finance sectors.
Speaking at a programme at the Osmania University, Srinivasa Reddy said that the Dharani portal created several problems for marginal farmers, who own five t0 10 guntas of land. An alumni of Osmania Arts College, he visited the college after 30 years. “The Dharani portal was launched without forethought,” he alleged.
“Dharani was a conspiracy to transfer government lands to some individuals,” Srinivasa Reddy claimed.
White paper on Dharani
A white paper would disclose the details of lands grabbed in the name of Dharani and how crores of rupees were swindled using the portal, he said and added that the government will soon revamp the portal.
The minister said that the government will soon announce a mega District Service Commission (DSC) for recruitment of teachers. The government has already filled over 23,000 vacancies, he said.
Srinivasa Reddy alleged that more injustice was done to Telangana in “Neellu, Nidhulu and Niyamakalu (water, fund and jobs)” under the BRS rule than in the undivided AP.
“The BRS ignored the unemployment issue and played with the lives of Telangana youth. When an unemployed youth, Pravallika died by suicide, a minister made disparaging remarks,” he added.
