Telangana minister dismisses BRS leader's land allocation allegations

In the Indian state of Telangana, two political groups are arguing about land and a shopping mall.

One group, called BRS, says the Congress government gave land to a company owned by the Chief Minister's brother.

Another leader, the Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu, says that is not true.

He says the Chief Minister's brothers and sisters have nothing to do with that company.

He also says the government sold land at a much higher price than the earlier government did.

BRS also says there was a big scam in the bidding process for a new mall called the PM Ekta (Unity) Mall.

The minister says the bidding was done fairly and openly.

BRS says it plans to complain to the Governor and, if needed, take the matter to court.

The minister says the Congress government follows the law and that BRS will never return to power.
