"lagacherla"

Controversies over land acquisition have intensified in Telangana since the Congress government assumed power, with farmers, students and residents staging protests over projects ranging from pharma villages to IT parks and roads, citing environmental concerns, poor compensation and livelihood threats.

Kodangal witnessed a town-wide bandh ahead of CM A Revanth Reddy’s visit, with residents protesting the government’s decision to shift schools and colleges from Appayapally to Lagacherla. Shopkeepers and locals supported the bandh, citing concerns over the town’s development.

Villagers in Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s Kodangal constituency protested against the relocation of a medical college, veterinary college and school from Appayapally to Lagacherla, alleging the move would halt local development and favour industrial projects in the new location.

Tribal women from Lagacherla village in Kodangal tied rakhis to BRS leader K.T. Rama Rao, thanking him for defending their rights during a land dispute, securing legal aid, and ensuring the withdrawal of the acquisition proposal.

The report highlighted alleged high-handed actions by the Congress government and its police force against tribal farmers and women in the region, BRS working president KT Rama Rao said

Former Kodangal MLA and BRS leader Patnam Narender Reddy, along with 24 farmers from Lagacherla village, who were arrested for the alleged attack on the Vikarabad Collector and other officials, were granted conditional bail by the Nampally Special Court on Wednesday.

Following a call given by BRS working president KT Rama Rao, the party leaders submitted petitions at the statues of Dr BR Ambedkar in all constituencies, demanding immediate withdrawal of cases and release of the jailed farmers.

Speaking to the media at the Assembly media point on Monday, the BRS working president said farmers in Chief Minister's Kodangal constituency were being assaulted and threatened

BRS legislators arrived at the Assembly building holding placards and chanting slogans in protest against the handcuffing of one of the arrested farmers. However, they were halted by police and Assembly security, who informed them that they did not have permission to enter with placards. Among those leading the protest were BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao and senior leader T. Harish Rao.

KTR blamed the Chief Minister for being responsible for all the attrocities and then making the officials scapegoats, upon getting caught on camera.
