KTR questions Revanth’s obsession with Musi river project

Lambasts Congress government for reckless governance, pushing unnecessary projects

Hyderabad: In a sharp rebuke, BRS working president KT Rama Rao lambasted the Revanth Reddy government for its reckless governance and pushing unnecessary projects such as the Musi river beautification.

He contrasted this with the rapid development achieved under former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao‘s leadership, pointing out Telangana’s top position in economic growth, IT exports and environmental sustainability.

Taking to X, Rama Rao slammed the Congress government’s administration for lacking direction and spreading confusion.

He ridiculed the Congress’ obsession with the Musi river beautification project, calling it a distraction from real development.

“Congress doesn’t know how to govern. Telangana became number one in per capita income and GDP growth without wasting Rs 1.5 lakh crore on the Musi project,” he said.

పాల‌న చేత‌కాక ప‌నికిమాలిన‌ మాట‌లు.. ‌.. పాగ‌ల్ ప‌నులు. వెర‌సి తెలంగాణ రాష్ట్రంలో పాలన పిచ్చోడి చేతిలో రాయిలా మారిపోయింది

ఆడ‌లేక మ‌ద్దెల ఓడు అన్న‌ట్లు ప‌రిపాల‌న, అభివృద్ధి చేయ‌డం తెలియక మూసీ మురుగులో పొర్లుతున్న కాంగ్రెస్…. త‌నకు అంటిన బుర‌ద‌ను అంద‌రికీ అంటించాల‌ని చూస్తుంది…

The BRS working president said Chandrashekhar Rao’s leadership drove Telangana’s growth, especially in the IT sector.

“Despite the Modi government cancelling the ITIR project and not giving a single rupee, Hyderabad surpassed Bengaluru in IT exports. We met our 2035 IT exports target by 2023, 12 years in advance” he pointed out.

Rama Rao noted that Hyderabad won the world’s best green city award without displacing the poor in the name of Musi river project, surpassing global cities such as Paris, Bogota, Montreal and Mexico City. He said the State had also become the seed bowl of the country.

He contrasted this with Congress’ “money-spinning schemes” around Musi river, questioning their real motives. He questioned the need for the Chief Minister to take up the Musi river project and the Fourth City project, except for Revanth Reddy filling his pockets.

The former Minister criticised Revanth Reddy for belittling government schools by repeatedly claiming to be its product. He pointed out that students from residential welfare schools initiated by former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao were far more fluent in English speaking and were working in world-renowned companies across the globe.

“Telangana’s rise has been built on visionary leadership, not on empty promises and chaotic governance,” he concluded.
