BRS leader Errabelli Dayakar Rao refutes land grab charges

HYDERABAD: Former Minister Errabelli Dayakar Rao has reacted sharply in the alleged case of land grab against him. He said that the news was factually incorrect.

Speaking at the Telangana Bhavan on Tuesday, Dayakar Rao, "I have been an honest politician for the last 40 years of my political career. A person named Sharan Chowdary had made allegations against me. I came to know that he was previously associated with the BJP and was sacked from the party for allegedly being involved in land grabs and frauds. He has apparently even cheated NRIs of crores of rupees. However I have no relationship with him."

"Sharan Chowdary took Rs 5 crore from an NRI named Vijay from Vijayawada. Vijay then filed a cheating case against him. There are many cheating cases against Sharan and the police have also seized his wife's passport," said Dayakar Rao and then shared a video of the NRI Vijay. He also said that he had no relationship with Vijay.

Saran Chowdary had lodged a complaint against former Task Force OSD Radha Kishan Rao, Minister Errabelli Dayakar Rao and Hyderabad CCS ACP Uma Maheshwar Rao, accusing them of illegally detaining, assaulting him and extorting money from hin in August 2023.
