Yadadri-Bhongir: Telangana Jana Samithi founder president Professor Kodandaram stated that the State government had betrayed the oustees of Baswapur reservoir by carrying out constructions without paying compensation to them according to the Land Acquisition Act 2013.

On Tuesday, he toured Baswapur village of Bhongir mandal in the district. Speaking on the occasion, Kodandaram expressed his outrage over the State government cheating the oustees by not deciding compensation to them.
