BRS MLA Harish Rao strongly criticized Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s contradictory remarks regarding the Musi River Musi River Redevelopment Project.
He pointed out that on July 20, Revanth had announced a plan to invest Rs 1.5 lakh crore over five years for Musi River redevelopment. This was reiterated in the ‘Telangana Growth Story: The Road to a One Trillion Dollar Economy’ document, released by the CM on September 6, which clearly outlined a budget of Rs 1.5 lakh crore (approximately USD 18 billion) for the Musi Riverfront Redevelopment.
However, in a recent press conference, Revanth denied making such claims, prompting Harish to point to the inconsistency. “Even a chameleon would blush at such flip-flopping,” Harish said.
He criticised the Congress-style governance of making tall claims without a Detailed Project Report (DPR), calling it an attempt to deceive the public and misuse public funds.
“We will not allow the Musi Rejuvenation and Riverfront project to become a front for looting public money,” Harish said.
