In a sharp critique of the Telangana state government's decision, BRS working president KT Rama Rao has voiced concerns over the swift acquisition of Hyderabad Central University (HCU) land, highlighting potential environmental repercussions.

Questioning the state's urgency, KTR emphasized the area's importance as the 'last green lung' of the city, cautioning against turning it into a 'concrete jungle' without an Environmental Impact Assessment.

Highlighting dissatisfaction with the government, he lamented the shift from educational facilities to massive constructions, labeling it as asset-stripping. BRS has pledged support for student protests, with KTR urging expansion of the agitation to other universities and seeking the intervention of Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to safeguard the land.
