Hyderabad, Oct.19 (NSS): Minister for Roads and Buildings Komatireddy Venkat Reddy has launched a scathing attack on BRS working president KT Rama Rao and former minister Harish Rao, accusing them of corruption and mismanagement.
Speaking to the media at the Secretariat here on Saturday, Venkat Reddy alleged that Kaleshwaram, Mission Kakatiya, and Mission Bhagiratha were used as covers to loot Rs.7 lakh crore.
“Ten years ago, the issue could have been resolved with just Rs.25,000 crores. Is KTR even thinking before speaking? They came to power by telling hundreds of lies. The Congress has kept our promises, unlike the BRS party. No matter how tough the situation is, we are paying salaries to employees on the first day of every month,” Venkatreddy said, launching a personal attack on KTR and Harish Rao.
He went on to mock BRS leaders who lost in the Assembly and Parliament elections, claiming that they should have left the country out of shame but were still shamelessly roaming the streets.
Venkat Reddy also pointed out the severe health issues plaguing the people of Nalgonda, who are struggling with various diseases. He emphasized that providing clean water, not STPs, would solve the problem.
While expressing his appreciation for the Chief Minister’s initiatives, Venkat Reddy mentioned that SLBC is the permanent solution for fluoride contamination and applauded efforts to clean the Musi River.
He criticised the previous government for embezzling Rs.5,000 crore from SLBC funds. “Everyone knows who KCR’s son is, but no one even recognises KTR,” he remarked sarcastically, accusing KTR of arrogance despite losing power.
Venkatreddy further accused KTR and Harish Rao of amassing wealth without knowing where to hide it, sarcastically noting their global travels. He questioned why KTR and Harish have such animosity toward the people of Nalgonda.
“They are instigating the people of Musi River,” Venkatreddy alleged, vowing to organise protests outside their homes.
