"musi-river-project"

BRS working president KT Rama Rao criticised Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for allegedly neglecting flood-hit citizens while focusing on big-ticket infrastructure proposals such as the 2036 Olympics bid and Hyderabad beautification projects.

The Congress government is committed to transform River Musi into fresh water river and turn it into a boon for Hyderabad. Irrespective of the hurdles and expenditure, government will take up the project,” he said

Congress governmentshould be holding a "carnival of scams" instead of celebrating victories. Government's failure to fulfil election promises speaks volumes of what they had delivered to the people. The Musi River clean-up project and the Kodangal Lift project are examples of corruption and the Chief Minister and ministers are awarding lucrative contracts to their relatives and cronies, alleged KT Rama Rao

At a joint news conference at Telangana Bhavan, Sudheer Reddy criticized the Chief Minister for using inappropriate language and highlighted that the BRS had launched the Musi River clean-up project. He expressed disappointment over the CM’s claims that the BRS was hindering the project.

He pointed out that the debt accumulation of the Congress government surpassed that of debt passed on to Telangana from a 60-year-old erstwhile Andhra Pradesh.

Victims of the Musi River project, proposed by the Telangana Congress government, expressed their concerns during a session on Monday. Women voiced grievances, arguing that the project is being hurried without considering its social impact.

Responding on behalf of Krishank, the BRS Legal Cell stated that he would neither apologise nor retract his social media posts, as demanded by Meinhardt.

Congress MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy has literally endorsed what Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has been arguing over Musi riverfront development project, especially with regard to ensuring flow of treated water in the river.

KTR says BRS not opposed to project but against displacement of thousands of families and inflated costs

BRS supporters criticised CM Revanth Reddy for lacking an action plan for Musi River project victims and demanded an apology, questioning his defense of a private company amid ongoing controversy

The party leadership has planned crucial meetings with the party leaders to discuss and strategise its action plan in this regard over the next couple of days.

Admitting that some residents were against the project, the Chief Minister said opposition parties were indulging in "dirty politics by exploiting the sentiments of the poor".

Congress' damage control appears to backfire, with only more damage being caused to the party's image

The demolition of houses took place at Narsingi, Jiyaguda, Chaderghat and few other places on the Musi River stretch.

Musi Riverfront Development Corporation officials had conducted a drone survey and identified 10,600 houses and structures along the 55 km stretch. These structures were in the riverbed and buffer zone limits and had to be relocated.

Several hundreds gathered at Telangana Bhavan on Saturday to voice their concerns over the ongoing demolition drive linked to the Musi riverfront beautification project

Split into five units and assisted by the police personnel, they have taken up the survey and marking of these dwelling units in Kishan Bagh, Asad Baba Nagar and Nandimusalai Guda areas.

The manner in which CM A Revanth Reddy and his Cabinet colleagues are projecting a cost estimate of Rs.1.5 lakh crore much before a DPR is prepared, triggers doubts over the Musi Riverfront project

The State government initially estimated the Musi River beautification project cost at Rs 50,000 crore and was later revised to Rs 70,000 crore. Recently, the estimates were freshly revised to a staggering Rs 1.5 lakh crore even before the draft plans are prepared.
