Revenue officials and a special inquiry committee are preparing a survey of land at Erravalli in Markook mandal, Siddipet district, where former Chief Minister and BRS president K. Chandrashekar Rao has his farmhouse. Boundaries, extent and survey numbers in Erravalli and neighbouring Venkatapur will be checked against records.
The gap in the records
- Survey No. 325 is recorded at 388 acres, but a field survey found only 343, leaving 45 acres unaccounted for.
- The survey will compare Google Earth satellite images, old pahani records and current revenue documents.
- Advance notices for Erravalli farmers are being prepared. Sources say a notice to KCR could be served at any time; this has not been confirmed.
The allegation is that land long cultivated by SC and BC farmers, along with some government land, was absorbed into the farmhouse and its access roads after changes in Dharani records. This has not been established.
Background and next steps
On October 6, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy ordered notices to KCR and his family. The government said the land would go to eligible farmers and that a Telangana Martyrs' Colony would be built there by June 2, 2027. No response from the BRS or KCR to the survey has been reported.
