Earlier, the YSR government had allotted 75 acres of land each to Hetero Drugs and Aurobindo Pharma at the Special Economic Zone at Jadcherla in Mahabubnagar. It is alleged that it was a quid pro quo for investments in Jagan’s companies. Another 30.33 acres of land was transferred to Trident Life Sciences that was falsely claimed to be a wholly owned subsidiary of Aurobindo Pharma at the Export Promotion Industrial Park of AP Industrial Infrastructure Corporation at Pashamylaram in Medak district by cutting down the processing fee from 10 percent to 2 percent.

During 2004 to 2009 government headed by Jagan’s late father YSR, these allotments were made to the above mentioned Pharma companies which are now under investigation over the allegations of Quid Pro Quo.
