Return unused land to farmers, FP, BCF to CM on Pharma City Corridor
Hyderabad: The Working President of Freedom Party (FP) Telangana Chapter Dr.Nandikanti Sai Kumar who is also Telangana OBC Federation (BCF) President asked chief minister Revanth Reddy raised concerns over the lands acquired for the proposed Pharma City.
The project was announced by the previous BRS government, much before the current Congress Government’s recently announced ‘Fourth city project’ in Mucherla Farma City's Corridore by prejudicing the original farmers, the principal owners of the land in Pharma city's corridore, said BCP President Nandikanti Sai Kumar.
Dr. Nandikanti said that Freedom Party raised concerns over the the Congress government allegedly scrapping the Pharma City project which was already put into work by the previous BRS government cheating the original land lords, he said.
He allleged that chief minister Revanth Reddy is indulging into deceiving Farmers of the the original project with a new ‘Fourth City’ project in Mucherla, after the Congress party came into power last year.
Dr. Nandikanti said that the scrapping of the old Pharma City project has not only raised concerns for investors who are interested in the project, but also puts farmers whose lands were acquired by the state government at the throw away rates for this project.
The Telangana High Court had asked the state government for clarity upon the land that was acquired for the project after hearing a plea from the farmers from Medippally. The Telangana HC had instructed the principal secretary of the Revenue department to submit detailed information by September 20, 2024.
Dr. Nandikanti accused the Congress government of scaling down from the initial Pharma City project. He demanded the government to clarify what will become of the lands that were acquired initially, as the recent High Court directive prohibits those lands being repurposed for a different project.
He asked the CM to return the lands to the farmers, if not used according to the original plan, referring to the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 2013.
