Podu lands: Aruna blasts KCR for blaming tribals

HYDERABAD: BJP national vice-president D.K. Aruna took exception to Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao’s remarks in the Assembly where he blamed tribals for the podu lands controversy. She said on the contrary it was Rao who destroyed forest lands. She accused BRS leaders and Kalvakuntla family of handing over forest lands to realtors, in a release here on Friday.

Aruna ridiculed the doublespeak of the ‘fickle’ BRS leaders with regard to podu lands. If BRS leaders fail to stick to their electoral promises, tribals will teach a lesson to them in coming elections, she said.
