"Musi mein looto, Delhi mein baanto is Congress' new slogan": BRS Chief KTR targets CM Revanth

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 1 (ANI): Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) working president KT Rama Rao on Tuesday launched a sharp criticism against the Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, accusing him of creating chaos and misery for the people of Hyderabad, especially during the festive seasons of Dussehra and Bathukamma.
KTR made these remarks while interacting with victims of the Musi River floods in Tulasi Nagar, Amberpet Constituency.
He said that poor people in the area are living in constant fear of their homes being demolished, uncertain of when the government might take action. He alleged that CM Revanth Reddy, out of revenge for not receiving votes from Hyderabad's citizens, is deliberately targeting and demolishing the houses of the poor.
He also urged residents to unite in resistance if bulldozers came to demolish their homes, emphasising that they should question the officials about their own families' safety.
Accusing CM Revanth of pushing forward a plan that would harm the poor, KTR demanded to know how the cost of the Musi project had increased tenfold from the Telangana government's initial estimate of Rs 16,000 crores. He stressed that if the project were to go ahead, those affected should receive three times the compensation, job offers, and financial support. KTR assured the public that his government would not remain silent if such reckless actions continued and promised that the poor would not be harmed.
KTR said, "Musi mein looto, Delhi mein baanto became the corrupt Congress's new slogan."
The BRS Chief further reminded Revanth of his pre-election promises, asking whether any of the six guarantees, which were promised to be fulfilled within 100 days, have been implemented.
He questioned whether the promises made to farmers, women, and the elderly had seen the light of day, accusing the Congress party of failing to deliver on its commitments. KTR particularly took issue with Congress's claim to spend Rs 1.5 lakh crore to clean 55 kilometres of the Musi River. He expressed disbelief at the figure and asked whether the real agenda was to loot public funds under the guise of development.
KT Rama Rao also accused the Telangana CM of cancelling various welfare schemes, including Bathukamma saris, Ramadan gifts, Christmas gifts, KCR Kits, and nutrition kits, highlighting his anti-poor agenda. KTR warned that trusting Revanth Reddy would result in further losses for the poor and labelled him a fraud. (ANI)
