They can even build the Governor and CM’s residence near Musi. We have no objection to it. Our concern is that the poor should not suffer due to the action of the government,”he said.

Expressing concern over Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s approach to the Musi riverfront beautification, the State BJP chief urged the government to address drainage issues before taking up Musi beautification. He suggested that the area could be beautified by constructing a retaining wall on both sides of the river.
