BRS leader T. Harish Rao has slammed the Congress government, alleging that lands in Boduppal were illegally placed under Section 22A to facilitate corrupt commissions.
- BRS leader T. Harish Rao questioned the legality of land inclusion under Section 22A.
- Approximately 1,500 families in Boduppal are facing property registration crises.
- Allegations suggest a 30% commission racket involving ruling party proxies.
In a significant political escalation, T. Harish Rao, the Deputy Floor Leader of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), has accused the current Congress administration of abusing its power to facilitate illegal profiteering. The controversy centers around the inclusion of several land parcels under the prohibited list of Section 22A of the Registration Act.
The issue came to a head when residents from Tirumala Meadows, Laxmi Ganapathi Colony, and Hema Nagar in Boduppal approached the BRS leader. These residents, who have inhabited survey number 215 and its adjacent areas for over three decades, found themselves unable to sell or transfer their properties due to sudden regulatory changes.
Why This Matters
BozokMedia analysis shows that the sudden classification of long-settled residential areas under Section 22A creates a massive liquidity crisis for homeowners. When property cannot be registered, its market value plummets, leaving thousands of middle-class families vulnerable to financial ruin.
The overnight inclusion of these survey numbers suggests a calculated move rather than a mere administrative oversight.
Mr. Rao alleged that the government has created an 'artificial controversy.' He claimed that the primary motive is to allow ruling party leaders and their benami associates to demand a 30% commission to facilitate the removal of these survey numbers from the prohibited list.
Historical Background: Section 22A of the Registration Act is designed to prevent the registration of government lands, disputed lands, or lands under litigation. However, its misuse can lead to widespread legal complications for legitimate property owners who have held land for decades without dispute.
Impact Assessment
| Affected Area | Estimated Families | Primary Grievance |
|---|---|---|
| Boduppal (Various Colonies) | ~1,500 | Inability to register/sell property due to Sec 22A |
The BRS leader warned that if the government fails to rectify this 'mistake' and restore the rights of the residents, a massive public movement will be launched. The residents only discovered the restriction when they attempted to dispose of their properties for urgent family needs, only to be blocked by the registration authorities.
