The revenue act has been in a lot of discussions since its introduction. Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao denied the objection against the state government that it has brought in the new revenue act only for the benefit of a few landlords. He made it clear while offering the New Revenue Bill on Monday in the Legislative Council that there are only 0.11 percent farmers who have more than 50 acres of lands that too in the form of orchards etc. More than 98.38 percent of farmers have landholdings that are less than 10 acres.

Explaining the prominent characteristics of the New Bill, he told the House that the Village Revenue Officer (VRO) system which was brought in 2007 would be abolished in the state. KCR said “the VROs lost their relevance. They have misused their power and we can’t be mute spectators. But there are people who say that we are bringing the Act for few landlords. Over 98.38 percent of farmers have landholdings less than 10 acres.”
