Chief Minister Revanth Reddy told the Assembly that K Chandrashekar Rao’s family and relatives hold nearly 440 acres of land.

He said the figure covers holdings across multiple districts and said the land would be examined under the law.

Reddy said the Agricultural Ceiling Act limits a family’s holdings to 27 acres and alleged the KCR family exceeds that limit.

He also said some assigned lands were transferred through Dharani loopholes and announced action to seize such land and redistribute it to the poor.

More context

The chief minister ordered an inquiry or special investigation into the land issues, with reports also saying officials were warned about missing the deadline and that the claims still need verification against land records.
