Rao took strong objection to the Congress government abandoning the Pharma City project and unveiling the Future City in the same 14,000 acres of land that the BRS government acquired for a comprehensive pharma hub.
Hyderabad: Former chief minister and BRS president K. Chandrashekar Rao on Sunday alleged that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and the Congress government had “turned into real estate brokers” and attacked them for abandoning the Pharma City project launched by the previous BRS government.
Addressing a press meet at BRS headquarters Telangana Bhavan, Chandrashekar Rao, referring to the recent Telangana Rising summit at the Bharat Future City, said mere signing of MoUs claiming lakhs of crores of investments meant nothing. “If this was true, then AP CM Chandrababu should have had at least a few thousand crores invested there after he held a similar event in his first term. Growth happens in stages, with dedicated and hard work by the government,” he said.
Rao took strong objection to the Congress government abandoning the Pharma City project and unveiling the Future City in the same 14,000 acres of land that the BRS government acquired for a comprehensive pharma hub. “We planned a clean pharma city, a pharma university and a medical college, a complete ecosystem. Now, this CM (Revanth Reddy) has gone and signed a MoU giving away 3,000 acres to Vantara for a zoo. What is he going to do with the zoo in Hyderabad? Sell away its land,” he asked.
Chandrashekar Rao said the Congress government was acting like a real estate broker and all it was interested in was selling land. “It’s entire focus is on real estate dandha (business),” he said.
