Congress Govt is bulldozing UoH legacy, says Kavitha
In a post on X, she said the land, originally given by Indira Gandhi and protected by the BRS, has been the centre of a prolonged legal battle for 25 years. The court had ruled in favor of UoH, yet the Congress government was manipulating the outcome to claim that the land belongs to the government, not the university.

Hyderabad: The Congress government in Telangana is making a brazen attempt to seize the University of Hyderabad (UoH) land, despite a clear court verdict affirming that the land rightfully belongs to the university, BRS MLC K Kavitha said.
In a post on X, she said the land, originally given by Indira Gandhi and protected by the BRS, has been the centre of a prolonged legal battle for 25 years. The court had ruled in favor of UoH, yet the Congress government was manipulating the outcome to claim that the land belongs to the government, not the university.
If the Congress administration truly seeks land for infrastructure development, it should utilize the 397 acres previously allocated to Hyderabad Central University, compensating the 400 acres. Instead, it is targeting HCU’s 2,500-acre campus, threatening its rich biodiversity and peaceful academic environment, she said.
Hyderabad already has ample land for development, and bulldozing UoH land only reveals Congress’s disregard for environmental preservation and academic sanctity.
The government must respect the court’s decision and preserve UoH’s land and environment. Twisting facts and bulldozing educational institutions only reveal Congress’s true priorities—favoring the elite at the expense of the common people and nature, Kavitha said, also stating that the Congress’s selective approach to land issues exposed its pro-rich and anti-poor stance.
“While the party falsely accuses the BRS of favouring influential figures like MyHome Rameshwar Rao, it lacks the courage to investigate or act against them. Instead, Congress focuses on disrupting UoH, punishing the poor and vulnerable while shielding the powerful,” she said.
