Overview
- Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and ministers released records showing a BRS-era proposal to convert about 9,263.71 acres into multi‑use zones, with conversion charges at 30% or 50% of SRO rates and rapid application and approval windows.
- BRS leaders, led by K. T. Rama Rao, renewed claims that roughly 9,300 acres are being handed to private interests at undervalued rates and demanded the government publish the full list of HILTP allottees.
- The government defended the policy as transparent and aimed at relocating polluting industries outside Hyderabad’s core while mobilising revenue, and said it would disclose details of conversions cleared under the previous regime.
- BC unions protested GO 46 after BCs received about 17.07% of sarpanch seats, with leaders launching hunger strikes over district-level disparities, as the BC Welfare Minister said legal limits blocked the promised 42% quota.
- The State Election Commission set village polls for December 11, 14 and 17, while Union minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar offered ₹10 lakh from MPLADS to Karimnagar villages that unanimously elect BJP-backed sarpanches.
