Hyderabad, June 8: Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Monday challenged both the BRS and BJP to an open debate on governance, saying he is ready to compare his government’s performance over the last 30 months with the 10-year BRS rule and 12-year BJP-led Centre.
CM challenges BRS, BJP over governance record
Addressing a public meeting after laying foundation stones for the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation and other development works, Revanth Reddy issued a direct challenge to both parties.
He said Telangana’s eight BJP MPs have failed to secure adequate Central funds for the state.
“They are asking what I have done in two years. Let us discuss who brought funds for Telangana,” the Chief Minister said.
Allegations against BJP MPs and Union Minister
Revanth Reddy alleged that BJP MPs from Chevella, Medak, Malkajgiri, and Secunderabad were not effectively raising state issues.
He also targeted Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy, accusing him of obstructing key projects including the Musi Riverfront development.
The CM warned that voters would respond if development was blocked for political reasons.
The Chief Minister announced that work on an international bus terminal at Gajularamaram over 100 acres will begin within three months.
He said the government will focus on Hyderabad’s development over the next 24 months, beyond political debates.
Urban development and welfare schemes highlighted
Revanth Reddy said major Indian cities are facing challenges like pollution, floods, and traffic, including Hyderabad.
He noted that Hyderabad has been divided into three municipal corporations for better governance.
Key initiatives highlighted include:
- Second phase of Metro Rail expansion
- Construction of 1 lakh houses for low & middle-income groups
- Free RTC bus travel for women
- Breakfast scheme for students
- Indira Mahila Shakti women empowerment programmes

Emphasis on “real development over slogans”
The Chief Minister said development must go beyond the idea of a “global city” and reflect real infrastructure growth and public welfare.
