BRS alleges Congress Musi land grab

K. T. Rama Rao, working president of the India — Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), has accused the India — Indian National Congress government, led by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, of proposing a India — Musi Riverfront Development Project that is a 'massive land grab scheme' rather than a genuine beautification initiative. He alleges the project, estimated at 1.5 lakh crore for 55 kilometers, aims to acquire 3,300 acres of land and demolish thousands of homes, benefiting real estate interests. K. T. Rama Rao criticized the government for proceeding without a Detailed Project Report, Social Impact Assessment, or Environmental Impact Study. He contrasted this with the previous BRS government's 16,000 crore plan, which developed six kilometers of the India — Musi River without demolitions and included measures like sewage treatment plants and bringing fresh water via the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project. K. T. Rama Rao also questioned the selective enforcement of buffer zone regulations and demanded an apology from the India — Indian National Congress for past neglect of the India — Musi River. The BRS has vowed to resist the current plan and reverse it if they return to power, standing with affected residents of India — Hyderabad.
