The Production Director of the film Vennela Creations and Balaga Infra Projects, CEO of Balaga Prakash, was looking for an intervention by the National Commission for Planned Kaste, which claimed the harassment of the divisional officer Tekkali (RDO) M. Krishn Murty and others in connection with the Land Agreement in Raghunathapuram Village, Tekkali Mandal.
Mr. Prakash said at a press conference that he legally bought two acres in survey No. 520/1 and 520/3 from members and legal heirs of Jagadhatri displaced Goldsmiths RCC Spun Dipes Cooperative Society. He introduced ground documents including sales lists, adangal, approval of conversion and orders issued by the then subject collector Tekkali in November 2023.
Mr. Prakash claimed that RDO continued to negotiate against him, despite the Directive from the High Court Andr Pradesh, so that he did not proceed in this matter. He claimed that certain interests were encouraged to file false complaints, causing him disproportionate problems. “While the government promotes the Dalit industry, such harassment is discouraging and unfair,” he said.
The leaders of the joint Action Committee of the Association of Planned Castes, including K. Ven and T. Srina, supported Mr. Prakash and warned that such incidents would discourage Dalitian entrepreneurs from investing in backward regions. They said the delegation would meet with national commissions for SCS and STS to look for support.
When he was contacted, Mr. Krishna Murtha claimed he acted within the legal parameters. He said that some legal heirs of the cooperative company approached him and claimed that there would be no payment for the sale of land. “My efforts are to solve the problem in accordance with the court and government’s instructions,” he explained.
