Union minister and Telangana BJP president G Kishan Reddy has announced plans to stay overnight in the catchment area of the Musi River in response to chief minister A Revanth Reddy’s challenge.
Reddy emphasized that BJP leaders are willing to live near the river for three months if it means scrapping the Musi rejuvenation project, which he claims is detrimental to the poor due to forced evacuations and demolitions of their homes.
He criticized the previous administration under K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) for failing to fulfil promises regarding the river’s condition and accused the current Congress government of borrowing heavily without delivering on its commitments.
