BRS leaders protesting HYDRAA to save their farmhouses: Revanth Reddy
Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said that the BRS leaders were raising their voice against HYDRAA only to save their farmhouses.Terming KTR and Harish Rao as Billa and Ranga, he said that they were obstructing the HYDRAA bulldozers. Didn't KTR build a farm house by occupying Gulkhapur nala? The BRS leaders are playing dramas only to stop bulldozers from demolishing their farmhouses, he said.
Revanth Reddy was speaking after participating in the Sadbhavana Yatra in Hyderabad on Saturday. He lauded Congress senior leader Geetha Reddy for being chosen for the prestigious Sadbhavana award for her invaluable service to the people for a long time. Geeta Reddy is an exceptional leader who does not fight for positions in politics. She said she would not contest the Assembly elections in 2023, he reminded.
He criticized former minister and BRS leader Harish Rao for having no stature of his own than following the BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao. "Have you forgotten the days when you stood in front of my house with folded hands," he asked Harish Rao.
He said that he would call an all-party meeting to discuss farmhouses of KTR and Harish Rao. He said that a fact-finding committee would be constituted to know the facts about the construction of the farmhouses of BRS leaders.
He said that the Congress government was committed to benefit the poorer sections in the society. Former Prime Ministers - Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi sacrificed their lives for the country while Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi sacrificed their PM posts itself. Revanth Reddy said that the would develop Telangana by maintaining religious harmony in the state.
Speaking about HYDRAA, he said that it is aimed at protecting lakes and water bodies in Hyderabad. Some realtors are trying to destroy the economy of the state and the Congress government will not allow that to be done, he said. HYDRAA is unstoppable and the encroachers will not be spared. HYDRAA was constituted to address traffic problems, restore nalas and save lakes from encroachments.
He criticized former ministers KT Rama Rao and Harish Rao for criticizing the Congress government, whenever HDYRAA is in action. It shows that both the leaders are intolerant towards development of the poorer sections in the society, he said.
He said that houses were allotted to the needy in the Musi catchment area and that financial aid has been provided to women to start their businesses. "The Musi revival project and HYDRAA are separate projects. HYDRAA did not take up any demolitions in Musi," he added.
