Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy alleged that opposition leaders are spreading “poison” against the government and misleading people over the Musi River rejuvenation project. He said the opposition has “filled their stomachs with poison” and is resorting to baseless allegations.
The Chief Minister announced that the Musi Riverfront Development will be taken up over a stretch of 55 kilometres. He said Godavari waters will be brought to Gandipet within two years, and clarity on the first phase of the project will be given by Sankranti. In the first phase, the river rejuvenation works will be carried out from Gandipet to Gaurrelli.
Responding to allegations, CM Revanth Reddy said some opposition leaders are branding him as a “real estate broker,” adding that real estate development has, in fact, contributed to the city’s growth. He questioned the opposition’s stand and asked whether they want Musi rejuvenation or not.
The Chief Minister said the government is committed to providing housing for the poor living in the Musi catchment area, but alleged that opposition leaders are obstructing these efforts. He challenged them to clarify whether people can continue to live safely in the Musi riverbed and flood-prone areas.
