BJP Head Calls Musi Project Hearing A Farce

Telangana BJP state president N. Ramchander Rao dismissed the recent public hearing on the Musi Rejuvenation Project as a farce, stating that individuals likely to be impacted by the initiative were kept out of the consultation. Speaking at a press conference, he pointed to instances where ex-servicemen in the Madhu Park area were reportedly blocked from attending an official meeting near Himayatsagar.

The BJP leader insisted that authorities must organize a Praja Darbar with affected residents prior to moving forward with the undertaking. He cautioned that his party would strongly resist any home demolitions that lacked proper compensation, resettlement, and rehabilitation provisions, adding that the river could be cleaned using scientific approaches instead of large-scale displacement.

Rao also criticized the current administration for projecting massive expenditures without providing a detailed project report or clear budget figures, while contrasting it with the prior BRS government's financial allocations. Additionally, he announced that Union Home Minister Amit Shah will travel to Hyderabad on November 2 to join a Maha Padayatra and speak at a public gathering.
