Telangana minister denies CM brother's link to land firm
Some people said that a piece of land in a place called Ravirala was given to a company at a very low price.
They also said the company was connected to the brother of the Chief Minister of Telangana.
A minister named D Sridhar Babu said these stories are not true.
He said the Chief Minister's brother has nothing to do with the company.
He explained that the land was given following all of the official rules.
The minister said the decision was made openly with the approval of a special committee.
He blamed two political groups, BRS and BJP, for spreading fake papers and stories.
He said they want to make the state government look bad.
The minister asked everyone to stop spreading false news and to focus on helping the state grow.
Telangana IT and Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu dismissed as 'blatant lies' reports that land was allotted at a low price to a company linked to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy's brother.
The minister said the Chief Minister's brother has no connection to Tesseract Advanced Systems Private Limited, the company allotted land at Ravirala.
He asserted the allocation was not secret and followed all prescribed rules, with approval from the Consultative Committee on Electronics System Design and Manufacturing.
Sridhar Babu accused BRS and BJP of circulating fabricated documents to tarnish the state government's image and divert public attention from other issues.
He alleged the opposition was trying to obstruct industrial growth and discourage investments in Telangana, warning the government would not tolerate false information.
