BRS to launch fresh agitation against Musi project, HYDRAA

The main opposition, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) is gearing up to launch a fresh agitation against the Musi River project, HYDRAA demolitions and the VLF Radar Station as the primary causes. BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Wednesday directed party legislators to reach out to the victims and stand by them at the ground level, giving them assurance and confidence in the fight against the Congress government’s anti-people policies.

Rama Rao, who held an extensive meeting with the BRS MLAs and MLCs in Hyderabad region at Telangana Bhavan here, drew parallels between Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s demonetisation and Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy‘s Musi Riverfront beautification project. He said both Modi and Revanth Reddy changed justifications daily to mask their poorly



conceived decisions, only to create unnecessary panic among people.

“Just like Modi justified demonetisation with different reasons every day – from black money to terrorism/naxalism and digitisation, Revanth Reddy is trying to justify the Musi River project. Today it’s beautification, tomorrow it’s water for Nalgonda, but where is the clarity?” he asked, pointing out that the Musi project lacked a comprehensive plan, with the Chief Minister declaring its cost at Rs.1.5 lakh crore, only to retract and state that no detailed project report (DPR) was prepared yet.

Rama Rao also slammed the Congress for taking massive loans without accountability, demanding an explanation for Rs.80,000 crore borrowed in just 10 months with no new projects to show for it.
