BRS working president KT Rama Rao castigated the Congress government over the proposed Musi Riverfront development project, which would affect over 1.5 lakh people living near the river banks in the State capital.
He blamed Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy for planning large-scale demolitions and inflating project costs under the guise of urban development.
After inspecting stretches of the Musi River development works including the Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP)
taken up during the previous BRS regime near Nagole on Thursday, the BRS working president interacted with the affected families of Musi Riverfront project.
Speaking on the occassion, Rama Rao demanded that the government complete the riverfront project without demolishing houses of the poor. He said if the Congress government was incapable of it, the project along with the Rs.16,000-crore allocation should be handed over to BRS which would complete the work before the next Assembly elections.
