BRS leader KTR accuses Telangana CM of corruption in Musi River Rejuvenation Project
Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 19 (ANI): Working President of Bharat Rashtra Samithi KT Rama Rao has criticised the Chief Minister of Telangana Revanth Reddy for spreading "falsehoods and making baseless" statements about the Musi River rejuvenation.
He also accused Reddy of conspiring to execute the "biggest scam" in the country by discarding the existing Musi designs and programs that could be implemented at a much lower cost.
"KTR alleged that Revanth Reddy is orchestrating the country's biggest corruption scandal by inflating the project cost from 16,800 crore rupees (as planned by the previous government) to 1,50,000 crore rupees under the guise of beautification. He pointed out inconsistencies in Revanth Reddy's statements, noting that the Chief Minister had initially mentioned a budget of 50,000 crore rupees but later changed his stance," a statement by KTR read.
During the presentation, KTR explained various programs implemented by the BRS government for the Musi River and mentioned the construction of Sewage Treatment Plants costing over 3,800 crore rupees to treat wastewater before it enters the Musi.
KTR at the end advised the government to complete the Musi project using the plans and designs provided by the previous administration, which could be accomplished with just 20,000 crore rupees, rather than "inflating it to 1.5 lakh crore rupees." (ANI)
