- BRS student protest targets Musi rejuvenation project
- Talasani Srinivas Yadav flags campaign from Telangana Bhavan
Hyderabad, April 4: The BRS Student Protest against the Musi project began on Saturday, with the party’s student wing launching a campaign across areas along the River Musi. Former Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav flagged off the initiative from Telangana Bhavan.
According to party leaders, around 50 teams of BRS student wing members have started touring basthis and colonies located along the Musi riverbank. The campaign will continue until April 14. Meanwhile, these teams will interact with local residents and explain issues related to the Musi rejuvenation project.
The BRS Student Protest focuses on raising awareness among people living near the river. Teams will engage with the public and highlight what they describe as ground realities linked to the project. Therefore, the campaign aims to gather public support and inform residents about developments.
Talasani comments on Musi project concerns
Addressing the gathering, Talasani Srinivas Yadav said the party is not opposed to the Musi project itself. However, he stressed that the BRS will not remain silent if the project leads to destruction under its pretext. His remarks underlined concerns raised by the party over possible impacts.
He stated that many families have lived along the River Musi banks for years. Since the State government announced the project, these residents have been living in fear and anxiety. He alleged that uncertainty has increased among people in these areas.
“The government cannot simply act arbitrarily just because it holds power. It has to convince the people and them into confidence,” Srinivas Yadav said. He also stated that the BRS student teams would expose what he described as the government’s exploitative intentions.
Protest campaign to continue across sections
Meanwhile, the BRS Student Protest is expected to expand further in the coming days. Leaders said the campaign would involve outreach to different sections of society. The teams will continue to meet residents and explain their concerns about the Musi project.
“We will intensify this struggle by involving all sections. Our protest will continue until the government yields to our demands,” Srinivas Yadav said. He added that people from all sections would be mobilized if required.
Therefore, the protest campaign signals continued political opposition to aspects of the Musi rejuvenation project. The situation is likely to develop further as the campaign progresses across riverbank areas.
