KTR slams Revanth Reddy for prioritising Musi Riverfront project over people’s welfare

“Every day, Revanth Reddy complains about the state’s rising debts, yet he is pursuing expensive initiatives like the Musi Riverfront project, which many consider unnecessary,” he said, questioning the rationale behind the state government’s plans.

Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, for prioritising Musi Riverfront Development Project over people’s welfare and development. He castigated the Chief Minister for claiming that the State is drowning in debt, while simultaneously orchestrating grand programmes like Musi Riverfront project with Rs 1.5 lakh crore.

“Everyday Revanth Reddy keeps crying about the State’s mounting debts on one hand, but is undertaking costly initiatives like Musi Riverfront project which is unwanted for many,” he said, questioning the reasoning behind the State government’s plans.

Taking to X, Rama Rao listed out numerous electoral promises of the Congress government which remain unfulfilled even after 10 months in power. He questioned how the State government plans to fund Musi Riverfront project when claims to have no funds to implement crucial schemes like crop loan waiver and Rythu Bandhu investment support for farmers.

“How come the government has funds for Musi Riverfront project, but not for providing social security pensions to the poor, Dearness Allowances to the employees, salaries to sanitation and outsourcing workers, medicines in hospitals, chalk pieces and other stationery in schools, fishlings and sheep distribution, and other welfare programmes,” he asked.
