Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy here on Friday slammed former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) for handing over important data of the Dharani portal to a criminal company.
Although the CAG raised serious objections, KCR handed over the data to the said company, he said here in the House during the discussion on the Bhubharti Bill to replace the Dharani portal. The CAG had clearly informed the state government that there were many errors in the portal.
The Dharan tender was allotted to a person related to B. Ramalinga Raju, the former chairman of Satyam Computer Services, who was arrested in the scam case. Dharini’s tender recipients were close to KCR’s son KT Rama Rao (KTR), who is also the executive president of BRS.
The state government has introduced the Bhubharti Bill replacing the Dharani portal and the new facility will have details of about 5.2 lakh acres of land across the state ensuring the protection of the rights of every landowner.
He said that the BRS MLAs had planned to block the proceedings of the Assembly during the crucial discussion on the Bhubharti Bill in the Legislative Assembly. Regarding the FIR issued against KTR, he said he would not share details about the FIR in the House as it would influence the investigation.
“If the Speaker gives permission, the state government will submit all relevant documents to him for his kind perusal,” Revanth Reddy said. On the SIT probe into the ORR lease, he said the probe was ordered on the request of former minister and BRS MLA T Harish Rao.
“After ordering an SIT probe into the ORR lease as per Harish Rao’s request, KCR might have taken it seriously and something might have happened. It is natural and Harish Rao raised issues in the House to clear it,” he added.
