Revanth Reddy mortgaging Telangana's future for loans: K Kavitha on Musi project
India TodayBharat Rashtra Samithi MLC K Kavitha accused the Revanth Reddy-led Congress government in Telangana of providing false and contradictory statements about the Musi Riverfront Development Project. Kavitha highlighted discrepancies in the government’s claims, pointing out a timeline of events: on September 19, the government submitted a proposal to the World Bank, referencing a Detailed Project Report, on October 4, it issued a Government Order hiring consultants for the DPR, yet on December 17, Legislative Affairs Minister D Sridhar Babu denied the DPR’s existence in the Assembly. Kavitha also questioned the government’s financial strategy, pointing out that Telangana already has Rs 1.28 lakh crore in loans and asking why another World Bank loan was necessary. The Congress government in Telangana has identified the Musi Riverfront Development Project as a key priority, focusing on revitalising the river's surrounding ecosystem.
