'Under house arrest', claims Telangana Congress chief Reddy

The Telangana Congress Committee Chief A Revanth Reddy has said that police was deployed near his house on Monday because he planned to highlight corruption in the Kokapet land auction held on July 15 and claimed that he has been put under house arrest by the state government. Reddy, Congress Lok Sabha member from Malkajgiri, had alleged that there were irregularities to the tune of Rs1,000 crore in the e-auction of lands in Kokapet. The state government sold some properties, over 50 acre of land, to some of their relatives, party leaders and IAS officers at undervalue. "I had warned the state government that I'll give complaint to PM, home minister and CBI Director in Delhi over this and raise the issue in Parliament. If we raise voices against state government's loot, they book us, arrest us and place us under house arrest. We'll fight against it," he further said.
