Following the busting of  Rs 587 crore Moyapur land scam in the registration department, the Opposition Cong-

ress and the BJP targeted the Chandrasekhar Rao regime.  Both the parties have demanded a CBI enquiry into the affair alleging the involvement of political bigwigs in the scam.

The State Government has ordered an overhaul of the department, suspended two more sub-registrars and transferred 29 others after it was found that 793 aces of Government land was fraudulently registered in the name of a private company.

Crime Branch CID has launched the probe into the murky deals.

While Kukatpally sub- registrar R Srinivas Rao and two officials of private companies were arrested earlier this week two more sub-registrars T Ramesh Chandra Reddy and Md Yusuf were also arrested and suspended in connection with the irregularities.

However, Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh has rejected the State Government action as a mere hogwash and demanded a CBI enquiry. Addressing a press conference in Hyderabad, he alleged State Minister T Srinivas Yadav was involved in the scam.

“The Minister should resign on moral grounds. We don’t have trust in KCR Government and the inquiry should be handed over to the CBI,” he added.

Senior BJP leader Nagam Janardhan Reddy also demanded a CBI inquiry into the land scam and said that if the State Government fails to handover the probe to the central agency he will knock on the doors of High Court. He alleged that the State exchequer has suffered huge losses due t0 the scam.
