Hyderabad, August 18: TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao today demanded that the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister K Rosaiah remove Congress MP K V P Ramachandra Rao as an advisor to the state government for his alleged role in a land scam.
“Ramachandra Rao, a close confidante of late chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, had played a key role in the scam in land transfer from the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) to Emaar Properties,” the TRS president told reporters here.
The scam in the land transfer started when TDP Chief N Chandrababu Naidu was Chief Minister and it grew leaps and bounds in the Rajasekhara Reddy administration, he alleged.
Claiming that the APIIC acquired the land from poor farmers without their consent and that no compensation has been paid to them, he demanded that the land be handed over to them immediately as it remained unutilised.
