Miyapur Land Scam: Opposition parties turned voiceless

0

Telangana Opposition parties including Congress, BJP and TDP are now tongue-tied over the Miyapur land scam worth 15000crore rupees. Congress and TDP left no stone unturned to accuse the Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and his TRS government. They even alleged that KCR’s family members were direct beneficiaries apart from some TRS party leaders. They even visited the site and faulted the Chief Minister was trying to diluting the scam. However, Opposition parties are no longer mounting pressure on the government.

With TDP already being accused of land-scam in Vishakhapatnam and another MLC Deepak Reddy being detained in Hyderabad, TTDP is left with no other choice but to remain silent. The story of Saffron brigade is enigmatic especially with KCR extending support to NDA Presidential candidate Ram Nath Kovind. It is ill-advised to seek CBI probe for the scam now, as KCR is in good terms with the party at Centre.

However, primary opposition party Congress going silent on the issue has raised several questions. If reports are to believed, KCR has a file with the names of all those involved in the scam. A few key TPCC leaders are mentioned in it. Harish Rao directly asked the opposition to stop blaming TRS and said that they will expose the deeds of Congress leaders in the scam. Also, Goldstone Prasad has connections with several important leaders of all the parties.

Investigations in Nayeem Case and Miyapur Land Scam imply similitude

The opposition parties in Telangana have been demanding CBI probe into Miyapur Land scam and Nayeem Case especially due to the alleged involvement of high profile names in these scandals. Though both the cases are unrelated, the process of investigation is akin especially with police making progress but then confronting with events that cause them to be further behind. It may be noted that the prime accused, Parathasarthy and Sharma were granted conditional bail from Supreme Court

Even though gangster Nayeem was killed in an encounter, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) was unable to trace four others including Seshanna who is a person of Nayeem’s stature. Likewise, the investigators of Miyapur land scam are ineffective in tracing, accused Goldstone Prasad.

Reports surfaced that Nayeem had links with politicians and police. However, Home ministry informed the court that there are no evidences to prove such allegations. Afterwards pictures of police officials grooving with the gangster appeared on social media. The police officials to repair the damage started probing 25 officials of which 5 were suspended to protect the image of the police department. The officials who had links with Nayeem, are allegedly not part of departmental investigation.

Likewise, surfaced that there is involvement of higher officials belonging to Revenue Peshi and CM Peshi in the Miyapur Land Scam. The case is being investigated by CID and not by SIT. Though police have arrested Rachakonda Srinivas Rao, Trinity directors Parthasarathy and Sharma, the crucial defendant Gold stone Prasad is still missing. A special team was sent to Bengaluru after reports appeared that he is sheltering there.

In both the cases the TRS government decided not to hand it over to CBI. Moreover, once Seshanna and Goldstone Prasad are wedged, the investigation in both the cases will move forward.

Miyapur land scam: KCR says govt did not lose a single inch of land or a rupee

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao finally broke silence on the Miyapur land scam. He held that CBI inquiry is not needed and said that the government did not lose a single rupee on the Jagirs of Miyapur, Balnagar, Ibrahimatnam and Shamshabad, despite people making several attempts to gain access.

KCR said that the lands on which private individuals are allegedly claiming rights are still under government control. A review meeting was held at Pragati Bhavan on land grabbing issue on Tuesday. On the contrary to accusations of opposition parties and the media hype, the meeting concluded that this not a scam and that not even one square yard of government land is alienated. The TRS chief said that 810 acres of land in Miyapur has been registered to private owners with litigation rights. The land has not been transferred as the registration fee would be Rs 415 Crore, but only Rs. 60 lakh was paid. Also several lands were supposed to be registered as Immovable property under Land Transfer Book No.1 but were registered under Moveable property under Book 4. Consequently, KCR concluded that such registrations have no value and held that it was a grave mistake from the sub-registrar’s end.

The government believes that to gain control on old Jagir lands, illegal registrations were done by creating GPAs. Such registrations are invalid and do not have legal binding. KCR said that trail is going on in Supreme court related to Jagirdar lands and also directed officials to send the details directly to the chief justice.

However, he did acknowledge that some of these registrations have been subjected to irregularities and subsequently criminal cases have been registered against those individuals. KCR asserted that the investigation is going on and the culprits will be punished.

Miyapur land scam: Next steps by tongue-tied KCR?

Ever since the scam has surfaced Telangana Revenue Department has seen significant changes – be it shuffling of the registrars and sub-registrars involved in scam directly and indirectly or dismissing three officials or reduction in the number registrations or withdrawal of registrations process from anywhere.

Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao who is always ready to target opposition, apparently decided to act before grabbing the mic and answering the questions. It is certain that for obvious reasons CM will go about cleansing the revenue department. Speculations are rife that the corrupt officials will not only be dismissed but also criminal cases will be filed against them.

If reports are to be believed KCR decided to bring the revenue department under his purview by taking the portfolio from Deputy Chief Minister Mohammad Mahmood Ali. Stamps and registration is critical piece of the revenue department. KCR allegedly came to conclusion that Mahmood Ali lacks experience in the field and the senior officers working in the department not extending cooperation either. The opposition parties in the state have been demanding immediate resignation of Deputy CM over his alleged involvement in the massive swindle. Another consequence is that CM is planning to take control of every department that generates income to the government like Exercise and commercial taxes. The corruption in the departments is causing huge loss to the exchequer.

Apparently, officials who illegal amassed wealth through these bogus registrations are gearing up to contest in 2019 general elections and have been asking for tickets in the respective parties.

KCR who has been conducting series of meetings with officials, decided not to remain tongue-tied on registration of government lands. After C V Anand was made Commissioner of Civil Supplies corruption in the department was significantly reduced. Likewise, the TRS supremo is allegedly planning to appoint IAS officers in revenue department to end the irregularities.

While the CM is concentrating on the departments, the role of CM’s peshi is being suspected in the scam. The land scam is going to remain a black dot for TRS government which in past three years remained unblemished. There are still several questions unanswered – What is the size of Miyapur Scam? Is it 15000 crore rupees or even massive? Is it only Sub registrars mistake? Is the modus operandi restricted to only Hyderabad or all districts of state? What is the level of involvement of Deputy Chief Minister?

Miyapur land scam: TRS MP K Keshava Rao family purchased land from Goldstone

Telangana Rashtra Samiti government is trying to come out of the Miyapur landscam but on the contrary more associations are being revealed. A close ally of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, secretary-general of TRS and member of Rajya Sabha, Dr K Keshava Rao’s name has surfaced in the land scam.

KK’s daughter Gadwal Vijayalakshmi and two other family members allegedly purchased 50acres of land from the primary accused in the Miyapur land scam Goldstone firms. Around 38acres of land belonged to government alleged the registrar Madhusudhan Reddy. The 38-acre forest land belongs Survey number 36 which has around 3200 government lands. Parthasarathy and others apparently showed that they owned this land based on the registration done in 2007. The registration documents were lying in the registrar office for one year since 2015. However, the in-charge registrar Saleha Khadir completed the registration in the name of Gadwal Lakshmi and two others in 2016. The in-charge registrar of this area was suspended two days back.

Responding to the allegations, a very agitated KK said that high court confirmed that the land did not belong to government and the registration has to be done. Only upon the court’s discretion, and after scrutinising all the documents, they have purchased the land. He refused to answer questions about the seller Goldstone firms. An agitated KK termed the registrar Madhusudhan Reddy as “mad” and said that his accusations were false. The TRS MP said that nobody has to power the challenge the court.
