Controversies
The surrender of more than 1,600 acres (6.5 km2) of personal land by Reddy to the government to be compliant with the law in December 2006 was criticised by opposition parties. The opposition parties demanded his resignation for owning the land in violation of the law. Naidu also called for Reddy's resignation after a 2007 Khammam police shooting resulted in eight deaths.
A federal probe of the CBI was also launched to investigate disproportionate assets acquired by Reddy in return for a favour his father made to the industrialists. In May 2012, C.B.I. arrested Mopidevi VenkataRamana, the then-Infrastructure Minister in Reddy's cabinet who was responsible for unduly assigning the land to a private organisation called, Vanpick. This incident calls the credibility of Reddy's entire cabinet into question.
