Telangana Minister of Finance Etela Rajender has denied the reports on the annulment of land lease to the Exhibition society. The TRS leader who is also the president of the Exhibition Society, said that government is working out on preparing the lease term and that no decision has been taken on giving land ownership to the society yet. He said, “We did not cancel the lease to the Society and there was no such idea with the government”

The government is planning on extending the lease to 99years with certain conditions which reportedly include no construction of clubs on the land and zero cost to the government for programmes conducted at the Exhibition Ground. It is also planning to make changes to the governing council of the society.

Responding to the allegations on administration of the exhibition society, the press release stated that the Society was offering best services to the society by providing education to the poor and women.
