Hyderabad, March 18 -- Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Yeleti Mahender Reddy on Tuesday, March 18, held a protest against the Congress government demanding it to stop the sale of university lands. The protest comes days after the state government announced the sale of about 400 acres of land in Kancha Gachibowli that many believe is part of the University of Hyderabad (UoH) campus.

The BJP MLA was detained by the Hyderabad police after holding a protest against the sale of the land parcel. Mahender Reddy's protest comes just a day after the Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TGIIC) said that the 400 acres of land does not belong to the University of Hyderabad (UoH).
