“CM has promised to expose the people behind the Dharani scam and send them to jail. But even after over 100 days in power he has not done anything in that direction. In fact he is trying to save them by not ordering a probe into the scam,”he said.

Stating that there were 24 lakh acres of assigned lands in the State at the time of formation of Telangana, he alleged that in the last ten years, it was reduced to just six lakh acres. In order to find out what had happened to lakhs of acres of land, there was a need to conduct a comprehensive probe into the issue, he said.
