Supreme Court Verdict on Miyapur Lands a Historic Victory for Telangana: CM Revanth Reddy

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has termed the Supreme Court's verdict upholding the Telangana government's rights over 550 acres of land in Miyapur a historic victory for the state. The land, located in Survey Nos. 100 and 101 of Rangareddy district, is estimated to be worth nearly Rs. 50,000 crore.

Speaking to the media in New Delhi alongside MPs, Revanth thanked the Supreme Court judges and said the verdict had prevented valuable public property from going into private hands. He reiterated that his government was committed to protecting government lands and using them for public welfare.

The Chief Minister alleged that the previous BRS government attempted to grab the Miyapur lands through former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, his relative Damodar Rao and Goldstone Prasad. He also alleged that luxury cars were offered to Damodar Rao and cash payments made to KCR. Revanth claimed that the Dharani system was misused to manipulate revenue records and facilitate land encroachments. He recalled his protests against land grabbing as an MLA, MP and PCC president, alleging that he was jailed for opposing such activities.

Revanth said his government had protected government properties worth approximately Rs. 1.50 lakh crore through legal battles in the High Court and Supreme Court. Among the major victories were 400 acres in Kancha Gachibowli, 450 acres in Mamidipally and 143 acres in Manchirevula. Of the Manchirevula land, 50 acres had been allocated for the Young India Police School. He alleged that KTR and associates attempted to encroach upon some of these properties.

The government also secured 36 acres in Kondapur, valued at Rs. 3,600 crore, following a favourable High Court verdict on September 3, 2025. Other protected properties included 140 acres at Sahebnagar Kalan, forest lands at Gurramguda, 106 acres worth Rs. 400 crore in Jayashankar Bhupalpally district and 600 acres in Bhadradri Kothagudem district.

The Chief Minister said the government would hand over forest lands to the Forest Department and revenue properties to the concerned departments. A Cabinet sub-committee on resource mobilisation would examine the possibility of selling selected government lands and using the proceeds for development. Priority areas would include education, Indiramma housing, irrigation and healthcare, particularly benefiting Dalits, tribals and Adivasis. Revenue from the Miyapur land sale would also be considered for educational development.

Revanth challenged BRS leaders to attend the Assembly and debate land encroachment allegations. He questioned why KCR and Harish Rao had failed to reclaim disputed Padmalaya Studios and Lanco properties after coming to power. He also raised allegations concerning lands linked to Harish Rao's father-in-law, Hanumantha Rao, and proposed developing a Srikantacharyulu Martyrs' Colony after resolving the disputes.

Reiterating his government's zero-tolerance policy towards land grabbing, Revanth urged KCR, KTR and other BRS leaders to stop attempts to claim public properties illegally. He said the government would continue its legal fight and ensure that protected lands serve the interests of Telangana's people.
