KTR Says His Family Has No Proper House In Hyderabad, Lives In Narsingi While Father KCR Stays At Erravelli Farmhouse
BRS leader KTR says his family has no house in Hyderabad large enough to live together, revealing he stays in a small double-bedroom home in Narsingi while his father KCR lives at the Erravelli farmhouse, as he hits back at CM Revanth Reddy's land holdings allegations.
BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao (KTR) made a striking personal admission at a press meet at Telangana Bhavan on September 17, 2026, saying his family does not have a proper house in Hyderabad big enough for everyone to live together, a remark that came as he pushed back against Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s allegations over the family’s land holdings.
“We don’t have a good house to live in together as a family in Hyderabad,” KTR told reporters. “Since there is no proper house for our entire family to stay together, I live in Narsingi. My father is staying at the Erravelli farmhouse. We don’t even have a house big enough for all of us to live in together. I live in a small double-bedroom house.”
The Backdrop: A Land Holdings Row
KTR’s comments came a day after CM Revanth Reddy, speaking in the Telangana Assembly, alleged that the KCR family had illegally accumulated over 400 acres of land across the state, with particular attention on the Erravelli farmhouse associated with former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR).
Responding at the press meet, KTR rejected what he called “poisonous propaganda” around the farmhouse, insisting the family holds only 67 acres in total, a figure he said the Chief Minister himself had acknowledged in the Assembly. He pointed out that KCR’s father had owned hundreds of acres as part of an old landholding family, and argued that KCR had, if anything, reduced the family’s holdings over time, even donating part of the family’s Chintalakunta property to a government school.
KTR’s Counter-Challenge To Revanth Reddy
KTR did not stop at defending his family’s assets. He challenged Revanth Reddy to submit to an independent audit of his own family’s wealth by a sitting or retired Supreme Court judge, asking whether the Chief Minister was willing to disclose what he owned at birth versus what he owns today. “Is Revanth ready for an investigation into his own assets?” KTR asked, framing the housing remark as evidence that the family’s wealth was not what it had been portrayed to be.
He added that despite the political attacks, the BRS would continue to back beneficiaries of the erstwhile 22(A) land protections and keep highlighting what he described as the state government’s shortcomings.
A Recurring Flashpoint
The Erravelli farmhouse has been a recurring flashpoint in Telangana politics through 2026, with reports of the state government ordering a probe into its land holdings and even facing questions over unauthorised construction. KTR’s remark about the family’s everyday living arrangements, far removed from the scale of a farmhouse controversy, appeared aimed at reframing the narrative for the public ahead of what is likely to be a prolonged political contest between the BRS and the ruling Congress in the state.
