Hyderabad: No deer in Kancha Gachibowli land, claims TPCC president

Wants Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to take stern action against those involved in false propaganda

HYDERABAD: After a couple of Congress MPs, now TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud has claimed that there were no deer in the 400-acre land at Kancha Gachibowli.

There might be peacocks in Union Minister Bandi Sanjay’s residence in New Delhi. They keep moving and they need to be protected. But here in the 400 acres at Kancha Gachibowli, there was no deer movement, he said at a press conference in Gandhi Bhavan here on Monday, also asking Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to take stern action against those who were involved in false propaganda and those who created fake pictures of deer and peacocks.

Defending AICC Telangana incharge Meenakshi Natarajan meeting with three-Minister Committee at the Secretariat on Saturday, the TPCC president said the AICC leader had gone to meet the Ministers to enquire about the Kancha Gachibowli issue.

“It was not a review meeting at all. In Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka’s chambers, she was briefed about the entire issue,” Goud said, also stating that selling lands was not on the Congress party’s agenda. In the better interest of the State, the government takes a few decisions, he said.

“If Chief Minister Revanth Reddy initiates any action, it is not for his personal purpose but for the people’s benefit,” he said, adding that University of Hyderabad students were aware that the 400 acres were not university lands. They were asking for additional land, he said.

On Congress MP from Nagarkurnool Mallu Ravi’s comments that the university would be shifted to the Fourth City, the TPCC president said that could be Ravi’s personal opinion.

“As a TPCC president, I do not have any such information. There is no such plan as well,” he said.
