BRS working president KT Rama Rao condemned the demolition of houses in Peerzadiguda, stating that the Congress government was harassing locals in an attempt to intimidate BRS corporators and take over the Peerzadiguda Mayor seat.
Stating that the BRS would protect Mayor Jakka Venkat Reddy and its corporators, he vowed to repay the Congress’ harassment with interest whenever the BRS returned to power.
The demolition, reportedly instigated by former Medchal MLA M Sudhir Reddy, has sparked outrage among locals who had constructed their homes legally on
regularised plots in Survey no 1 in Peerzadiguda municipal corporation limits.
They stated that despite obtaining all permissions, the demolitions were taken up claiming that the constructions were carried out in ceiling lands. The police arrested BRS corporators Pochaiah and Harishankar Reddy on the charges of obstructing the demolition.
Responding to the incident, Rama Rao said the Congress leaders sold plots to innocent people and was then demolishing their homes. He asked Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to investigate into the incident and initiate immediate action.
