Musi rejuvenation will benefit real estate developers, says Kishan Reddy

The demolition of houses was not a solution, and the easiest way for the government was to construct retaining walls along the Musi, he said.

“Clean the Musi, but don’t destroy the homes of the poor. The Congress government’s so-called beautification plan is nothing but a cover for destroying poor families’ homes and benefiting real estate developers. The Musi beautification project has turned into a ticking time bomb for families in the Musi Zone, leaving them anxious and fearful of losing their homes,” he said.

Kishan Reddy urged Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to take out padayatra and meet the people staying along Musi surroundings and with their permission, take up the project.
