KTR Slams Telangana Govt Over HYDRAA's 'Illegal Demolition' Along Musi River, Pledges Legal Support For Victims
KT Rama Rao claimed that the real estate sector in Hyderabad has suffered due to what he called the government's "wrong policies" and demolition activities.
Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao launched a sharp attack on Telangana government over the alleged demolition drive along the Musi River vowing legal support for affected citizens. During a media briefing on Wednesday, Rama Rao criticized the government’s handling of the situation, particularly the role of Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA).
Rama Rao claimed that the real estate sector in Hyderabad has suffered due to what he called the government's "wrong policies" and demolition activities. He emphasized BRS's commitment to standing by the poor and protecting them from what he described as an "atmosphere of fear" created in the name of Musi River development.
"BRS is here to shield the poor. We are committed to saving people from this fear-mongering. If the government does not follow the law, we will fight it legally. Already, around 450 people have approached the BRS legal cell seeking support," he stated.
The BRS leader further accused the government of using HYDRAA to intimidate large real estate firms. On the topic of the Musi River beautification project, Rama Rao pointed out that the previous BRS-led administration invested Rs 4,000 crore in setting up sewage treatment plants and improving the city's stormwater drains, initiatives he said were showing results now.
He also criticized the current government for issuing orders for land allocation for a Very Low Frequency (VLF) Naval Station near Vikarabad without considering its environmental impact. Rama Rao accused the government of "loot" rather than genuine beautification efforts and condemned what he saw as a lack of a proper rehabilitation plan for displaced citizens.
In his concluding remarks, Rama Rao alleged that the Congress is using Telangana as an "ATM" and highlighted his belief that the Musi River project is primarily focused on eviction without a clear strategy for those affected.
