In a post on X, KT Rama Rao shared a media report and wrote, "No Future for this so-called 'Future City"! A classic example of what happens when a clueless leader runs the State. Revanth first scrapped Hyderabad Pharma City, then floated an imaginary Future City on the same lands."

"As per the Land Acquisition Act 2013, land acquired for a particular public purpose cannot be diverted for real estate initiatives for the benefit of friends and family. I had warned about this 2 years ago in the state Assembly! After spending hundreds of crores on PR blitz, today even officials admit serious legal hurdlesPublic money wasted. Farmers betrayed. Citizens fooled," the post read.

KTR reiterated that according to the Land Acquisition Act of 2013, land acquired for a specific public purpose cannot be diverted for real estate projects for the benefit of others.

He reminded that he had warned the Congress government about this in the Assembly two years ago. Despite this, Revanth Reddy's government spent hundreds of crores on PR and is now facing severe legal hurdles, which even officials are now admitting.

KTR said that during the BRS government's tenure, proposals were prepared for the Hyderabad Pharma City with 20,000 acres of land spread across 56 villages. He noted that local farmers voluntarily came forward and gave their lands for the benefit of the state.

However, KTR expressed outrage that while the Congress party promised to return every single acre of land acquired for Pharma City to the farmers, Revanth Reddy's government is now betraying them by attempting to turn the same land into a real estate business for his family members and friends.

He stated that the future of the land allocated for pharma companies has become uncertain.

He warned that the government's actions are against the public interest and will cause harm to the people, especially the farmers. KTR demanded that the government immediately respond and provide clarity to the public and farmers. He also made it clear that if the government fails to do so, the BRS party will fight on behalf of the farmers.
