Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandra Sekhar Rao has ordered a Vigilance inquiry on Friday on the allegations of land grabbing on Medical & Health Minister Etela Rajender. KCR also directed the Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar to bring the fact reports from the Collector, Medak district.

He purchased the land from the small farmers from weaker communities, who got allocation of assignment lands for their livelihood in the year 1994. Though there is a restriction, the assignment lands were not purchased by others as per the POT Act.
