NOB-Telangana news: Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy said that if the assigned lands given to the poor are in the hands of rich, they will be confiscated. He said that in the past, there was no possibility of transferring the rights of assigned lands from father to heirs. He said that this opportunity is being provided under the Bhu Bharati Act. He said that if the poor have purchased these same lands, they will also be given rights. He clarified that if they are in the hands of the rich, the government will seize them. He spoke to reporters at the Secretariat on 30.05.2025. He mentioned several issues on this occasion.

BRS leader’s mindset has not changed:
Ponguleti expressed his anger at the BRS leaders for lying to the media every day in the Kaleshwaram issue and trying to convince the people. He said that even after the people defeated them, their mindset has not changed. He said that if they wanted to indulge in politics, they would have pressured the commission to name KCR as the first accused. He said that L&T was also a fraud and that they had blocked the report given by the company and written in a newspaper that they had given a clean chit. When it was mentioned that KCR is giving a PPT before the commission, he asked, “Will he give a presentation about the sculptor in him?” He said that he is not in the position to talk about things like this. He said that the Kavitha controversy is like a storm in a teacup. He said that he is also waiting for Kavitha to say who she is fighting against. He said that Revanth Reddy will continue as the CM for the full term and there is no threat to his post. He said that Revanth is familiar enough to talk to Rahul Gandhi even at midnight. He said that the ED did not search his house. He said that there is no need to explain this. When reporters mentioned the cabinet expansion, he said that it will happen soon.
