Harish Rao Threatens Assembly Stalemate Over 22A Listings
Some homes and plots in Telangana have been put on a restricted list called Section 22A.
T. Harish Rao of the BRS says some of these properties were listed unfairly.
He says this makes it hard for families to sell their homes or use them as security for bank loans.
He especially wants three colonies in Boduppal removed from the list.
He also says the full list disappeared from the Bhu Bharati website.
Harish Rao wants the government to put the list back online.
He accused officials and middlemen of demanding large commissions, though these claims were not independently confirmed in the articles.
He warned that the BRS would disrupt the Assembly and protest outside the Secretariat if the listings were not cancelled.
BRS deputy leader T. Harish Rao warned the party would stall the Assembly session over Section 22A property listings.
He demanded that Tirumala Meadows, Lakshmi Ganapathi and Hemanagar colonies in Boduppal be removed from the restricted list.
Harish Rao alleged that legally registered homes were wrongly listed, preventing residents from securing loans or selling their properties.
He demanded that the complete Section 22A list be restored to the Bhu Bharati portal and made public.
Harish Rao threatened a Secretariat siege and accused the Congress government of using the listings to seek illegal commissions and promote real-estate interests.
