KTR questions Congress move on MANUU land, vows legal fight

The BRS has strongly criticised the Congress government in Telangana for allegedly attempting to seize 50 acres of land belonging to Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU). KT Rama Rao accused the government of prioritising real estate interests over education and minority welfare.

Hyderabad: With the Kancha Gachibowli land destruction still fresh in public memory, BRS working president KT Rama Rao asked Congress MP Rahul Gandhi whether it was fair on the Congress government’s part to snatch 50 acres of land belonging to Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU).

He stressed that the BRS, along with MANUU students, would not remain mute spectators to the Congress government’s attempts. The party would fight the injustice in the courts, he assured.

Taking to X, Rama Rao asked Rahul Gandhi if he was aware of what the Congress government was doing in Telangana. Was this his idea of standing for education and minorities, he asked.

“After the disgrace at HCU, where your CM bulldozed a green forest and crushed wildlife, bringing national shame to your party, Congress still hasn’t learnt anything. Now, by targeting MANUU and attempting to snatch 50 acres meant for academic blocks, hostels and future courses, your government is sabotaging the aspirations of thousands of students,” Rama Rao said.

“Is it fair to strip universities of land they need for emerging disciplines, only to feed the real estate greed of your Chief Minister? A responsible government should strengthen institutions of learning, not cannibalize them,” he asked.

The BRS, along with MANUU students, would not remain silent, he said. “We will fight this injustice on the ground and in the courts. Education is not your pawn; it is the Nation’s Future. BRS stands with MANUU,” he assured.
