Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], April 1 (ANI): Union Minister G Kishan Reddy has alleged that the Congress government in Telangana is planning to auction 400 acres of green land under Hyderabad University (HCU) to real estate companies, a move he claims will disturb the ecosystem.Speaking to the media, G Kishan Reddy said, "Congress government wants to auction the land to real estate companies, which will disturb the ecosystem. Tree cutting is being done at night. Rahul Gandhi advocates for stopping mining in Kerala and gives big speeches in Delhi, so he should think about what his government is doing in Telangana. This is why students (of Hyderabad University) are protesting and the state government is using force on them, which is wrong. I wrote a letter to the CM to stop this auction and cutting down of trees."Earlier, G Kishan Reddy had called for an immediate halt to the sale of the 400 acres of land under Hyderabad University, citing environmental concerns and the potential displacement of local wildlife. He also demanded an end to the tree felling, a measure that has triggered protests from students."I have written a letter to the Chief Minister (A Revanth Reddy) in the Congress government to stop this action. I demand from the CM and Rahul Gandhi that 400 acres should be saved. Also, the equipment which has been installed for tree cutting should be removed," the Union minister told ANI."Forest Department, Central University, everyone has developed this land for a long time. But today, the Congress-led Telangana government wants to auction it off and give it to a real estate company. Due to this, there will be a lot of concrete jungle. Eco-sensitivity will be damaged and environmental problems will arise, we don't know where birds, animals will go," he added.Minister Reddy claimed that the government is cutting trees down in the middle of the night, accusing the Congress government of hypocrisy as party leader Rahul Gandhi talks about the ecological damage of mining in Kerala."They are putting floodlights and cutting trees in the middle of the night. This Congress government gives a big speech in Delhi. Sonia Gandhi gives a big speech. Rahul Gandhi should think about what his government is doing. He says that mining should not be done in Kerala, so Rahul Gandhi gives a letter to the Prime Minister, but where his government is, they want to give away the green land, so students are protesting against it," the minister said.The Union Minister also criticized the government's response to the protests, describing the lathi charge and arrests of students as "undemocratic." He further stated, "To crush that movement, the Congress party government is doing this by arresting the police and charging them with sticks, charging them with lathis, this is an undemocratic system."
