Hyderabad Development Stalled Under BRS-BJP Rule, Claims Telangana CM Reddy
Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy launched a scathing attack on the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at the Centre, accusing them of halting the development of Hyderabad. In a press conference held in Hyderabad today, Reddy asserted that the city saw its most significant progress during the Congress regime from 2004 to 2014.
“The Outer Ring Road, Shamshabad Airport, and the Metro Rail – all these were brought in by the Congress government,” Reddy stated, contrasting this with what he called a period of stagnation under the BRS and BJP.
Reddy claimed that the BRS government left Telangana with a debt of ₹8 lakh crores after inheriting a surplus budget. He criticized the BRS for wasteful spending on projects like the Kaleshwaram project, alleging it collapsed within three years, and for constructing a new Secretariat and command-and-control center that he said served no benefit to the poor.
The Chief Minister also accused the Centre of failing to provide adequate flood relief to Hyderabad and criticized BJP central officials for impeding key projects. He specifically cited stalled Metro expansions, the ITIR project, and new infrastructure initiatives.
Reddy unveiled ambitious plans for Hyderabad’s future, including Metro expansion, river restoration, regional ring roads, and elevated corridors, while accusing the BRS and BJP of creating hurdles. He called on the public to support the Congress party in the upcoming elections to ensure continued development of the city. He also stated that previous BRS leaders were illegally occupying public lands and will be stopped at any cost.
He accused the previous government of corruption, citing the sale of the ORR for a vastly undervalued price.
The Chief Minister’s remarks come as Telangana prepares for upcoming elections.
