KTR Accuses Revanth Reddy of Neglecting Hyderabad for Personal Real Estate Gains

In a scathing attack on the Congress government, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao accused Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of ruining Hyderabad across sectors over the past two years. Rama Rao alleged that Revanth Reddy has been neglecting the city and focusing on his financial interests and real estate goals.

Ignoring the hardships faced by citizens, the Chief Minister is reportedly targeting valuable lands in the city to amass illegal earnings, which has damaged Hyderabad for personal gains. This was highlighted during a meeting with BRS legislators and senior leaders from the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) limits.

Rama Rao lashed out at the Congress government, particularly the Chief Minister, accusing him of tarnishing Hyderabad’s image. “Just because Greater Hyderabad did not vote in favor of the Congress party, Revanth Reddy has ruined Hyderabad,” Rama Rao said. He alleged that the Chief Minister has been focusing on real estate activities over the past 24 months to benefit his family members and associates.

Rama Rao cited several scandals, including HYDRAA, the industrial land scam, a scam in the name of TDR, and the Fourth City land issue, to illustrate how the Chief Minister has been engaged only in real estate business. Problems such as mosquito menace, power cuts, and sanitation issues, which were effectively controlled over the past 10 years, have resurfaced in the city. Citizens are facing hardships as the Congress government fails to address even basic civic issues, including mosquito control.

With his inexperience and lack of awareness, Revanth Reddy is promoting Future City and neglecting Hyderabad. He is also promoting the Future City project at various national and international platforms for personal gains, according to Rama Rao. The BRS working president expressed concern over delays in infrastructure development and the neglect of basic civic amenities in Hyderabad, leading to setbacks across sectors over the past two years.

During the previous BRS government, under the leadership of former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, Hyderabad had developed into a global city with improvements in drinking water supply, sanitation, public transport, and uninterrupted power supply. “Considering the good work done by the BRS government, the people had offered the Mayor seat twice to the party,” Rama Rao said.

The meeting also discussed preparations for the upcoming GHMC elections. To improve coordination among party leaders, Dasoju Sravan and Karne Prabhakar were entrusted with responsibilities in the GHMC region. Shambipur Raju was assigned responsibility for the proposed Malkajgiri Corporation, while Pochampally Srinivas Reddy would oversee the proposed Cyberabad Municipal Corporation.
