Dasoju Sravan demands GO 477 cancellation, calls out Congress government’s ‘Bulldozer Raj’

In an open letter to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Sravan compared the Congress government's actions in Telangana to that of Bulldozer Raj in Uttar Pradesh.

Hyderabad: Senior BRS leader Dasoju Sravan demanded the State government to cancel GO 477 and halt demolition of houses for the Musi Riverfront Beautification Project. He found fault with the State government for forcibly evicting thousands of families living along the river banks, without consultation, adequate compensation and rehabilitation, in violation of the rights of the residents.

In an open letter to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Sravan compared the Congress government’s actions in Telangana to that of Bulldozer Raj in Uttar Pradesh. He said the State government was demolishing the homes in violation of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement (RFCTLARR) Act, 2013, without proper rehabilitation plans.

He also observed that the government’s decision to proceed with demolition plans, without a Detailed Project Report (DPR) shows a lack of transparency and commitment to the project’s long-term success. “Revanth Reddy’s Congress, which should protect the poor, is engaging in Bulldozer Raj, destroying homes without due process,” he said. He also questioned the Rs 1.5 lakh crore budget for the project, demanding clarity on its cost breakdown.
