Addressing a press conference at the BRS headquarters in Banjara Hills, Sravan alleged that the chief minister remained indifferent to the functioning of the GHMC and HMDA, even as thousands of files seeking approvals continue to remain pending in both departments.
Sravan said Revanth Reddy wears belt, watch, and shoes worth lakhs of rupees and still calls himself a common man. He accused the CM of having a ‘feudal mentality’ and warned that his proposal to increase land registration charges would severely impact the infrastructure and real estate sectors.
The MLC further questioned why Revanth Reddy repeatedly praises his ‘Raja Guru’ and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, while refusing to acknowledge the ‘visionary leadership’ of former CM K Chandrashekar Rao and former minister K T Rama Rao.
He alleged that Hyderabad, the ‘revenue engine of Telangana,’ was being pushed into decline by the government. Sravan emphasized that the city's development and economic growth were being stifled due to the CM's policies and the mismanagement of key institutions.
The BRS MLC also pointed out that the real estate and infrastructure sectors, which are crucial for the state's economy, were suffering due to the government's negligence and the delay in approvals. This has led to a slowdown in project completions and investments, affecting the overall economic health of the region.
Sravan’s allegations come at a time when the Telangana government is facing increasing criticism for its handling of urban development and governance. The opposition has been vocal about the need for transparency and accountability in the functioning of government bodies and the importance of prioritizing the needs of the people over personal and political interests.
The BRS party, known for its strong presence in the real estate and construction sectors, has been a vocal critic of the current government’s policies. They have called for a more inclusive and transparent approach to governance, emphasizing the need to address the concerns of the industry and the public.
In response to these allegations, the Telangana government has yet to provide a detailed response. However, the issue has sparked a broader debate on the role of institutions like RERA and HYDRAA in ensuring fair and efficient governance in the real estate and construction sectors.
The situation in Hyderabad and the broader implications for the state's economy highlight the need for a balanced and forward-looking approach to urban development. The stakeholders in the real estate and infrastructure sectors are closely watching the government's next steps and hoping for positive changes that can revitalize the city's growth and development.
