Congress govt acting like real estate company: KTR

BRS working president KT Rama Rao accused the Congress government of demolishing poor homes to raise funds for real estate interests, delayed completion of Warangal super specialty hospital, and prioritising luxury constructions over public welfare.

Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao called out the Congress government, accusing it of demolishing houses of the poor to raise funds and serve real estate interests of its leaders.

Amid increasing incidents of demolitions, Rama Rao stated that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy promised to send Rs 1,000 crore to the Gandhi family and was now trying to mobilise money by clearing slums and selling valuable urban land.

“While bulldozing the homes of the poor, the Chief Minister is building his second palace in Hyderabad and spending Rs 9 crore just on compound walls to fortify his existing palace,” he charged.

The BRS working president said Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka was constructing a third house in Khammam, while Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy was expanding his business interests to collect commissions.

“The poor have been thrown on the streets. This is not a government, it is a real estate company. These are not Ministers but real estate brokers,” he said.

He shared satellite images of Velugumatla in Khammam, showing homes during the BRS regime and debris left behind after their demolition under the Congress rule, calling it “Progressive Governance V Bulldozer Governance.”

Rama Rao also shared visuals of the upcoming super specialty hospital at Warangal, calling it the audacious vision of former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao. Grounded by the former Chief Minister on June 21, the hospital is touted to be India’s largest in government sector, with 2,000 beds spread across 24 floors.

“Around 75 per cent of the works were completed within two years by the end of 2023. But the Congress government has chosen to ignore and delay the completion deliberately for the last two years. Why this apathy towards public health, Rahul Gandhi?” he asked.
