Every piece of land availble is grabbed by people like Mr Reddy the husband of Rohini Sindhuri! This Reddy and Sindhuri knows that Lands value appreciate greatly over the years, and hence the rush to grab all available lands.
There is no point in talking about reservtion of lands, unless the government restricts the purchase of lands. Buying lands in the best way to launder illegally acquired cash through bribes, and hence all government officials, politicians and ministers buy lands to launder their cash.
