Hyderabad : BRS MLC Dr. Sravan Dasoju addressed a press conference at Telangana Bhavan today, where he fiercely exposed the failures of HYDRAA and the large-scale mining loot being carried out by the ruling party. The key points of his address are outlined below in sequential order:
- HYDRAA Commissioner Ranganath’s ‘U-Turn’ – Why the Change in Stand Within 3 Hours?
At 9:15 AM today, HYDRAA officially announced through media groups that action was taken against ‘Raghava Stone Crusher’ (owned by Minister Ponguleti).
However, by 12:00 PM, HYDRAA issued a rejoinder claiming the units did not belong to Raghava Construction. What is the secret deal behind this sudden change of heart within just three hours?
Who intimidated or pressured the HYDRAA Commissioner to issue such a false statement?
As an IPS officer, Mr. Ranganath is accountable to the Constitution, not to be a servant of Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy.
Manipulating evidence and misleading the public to shield the guilty is a serious offense that carries a potential seven-year prison sentence. - Official Complicity – Criminal Cases Must Be Filed Against Responsible Officers
How could the Collector, RDO, Tehsildar (MRO), Pollution Control Board (PCB) officials, and local police remain silent while hundreds of crores worth of natural wealth was being looted?
Were these officials “brushing the teeth of a blind horse” while massive ‘Bahubali’ machines were operating without any valid permits?
I demand that criminal cases be immediately registered against all these officials for allowing illegal mining and loot in their jurisdictions.
It is dangerous for Telangana when IAS and IPS officers, who should be the custodians of public wealth, succumb to a “slavery mindset” under political pressure. - HYDRAA’s ‘Kumbhakarna’ Sleep – Why the 60-Day Delay?
BRS leader Harish Rao Garu raised the alarm on the Manasa Hills mining mafia back in February, and a BRS fact-finding committee submitted a formal complaint in mid-March.
After allowing the Minister’s companies to loot hundreds of crores worth of stone for 60 days, HYDRAA’s sudden wake-up call is like “holding onto leaves after the house has burnt down”.
Is Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy a “son-in-law of Telangana” to be given such special treatment? Why is the authority used against common citizens not applied to Ministers? - The Revanth-Ponguleti ‘Loot’ Pact: Bhagyanagar Crusher Irregularities
While Ponguleti loots on one side, ‘Bhagyanagar Crushers’—linked to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s associates—is carrying out illegal mining near the Outer Ring Road (ORR) in total violation of rules.
Despite clear rules that private entities cannot host commercial advertisements, who permitted massive LED hoarding boards on Bhagyanagar Crusher’s walls, which are generating hundreds of crores in illegal revenue?
Why is HYDRAA silent on these illegal hoardings and the dangerous blasting activities that pose a threat to commuters on the ORR?
Revanth Reddy and Ponguleti Reddy have turned into real estate and mining mafias, looting the state together.
Final Demands:
Also Read-
- Dismiss Minister Ponguleti: Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, caught red-handed in illegal mining, must be dismissed from the Cabinet immediately.
- CBI Inquiry: A comprehensive CBI Inquiry must be ordered into the Ponguleti mining scam, the complicity of the officials, HYDRAA’s 60-day delay, and the Commissioner’s suspicious 3-hour U-turn.
- Recovery of Loot: The ₹500 crore worth of public wealth looted must be recovered by confiscating the properties of the accused and deposited back into the state treasury.
- Arrest of Complicit Officers: Criminal cases must be filed to arrest the Collector, MRO, RDO, PCB, and police officials who facilitated this daylight robbery.
“BRS will not stop its struggle until these ‘Real Estate Mafias’ masquerading as a ‘People’s Government’ are held accountable,” declared Dr. Sravan Dasoju.
