“Revanth Reddy should come out and announce the withdrawal of the project immediately.  The government should be with the people, not against them, rather than improving their lives, the congress government is destroying them with such brainless actions, he said.

He also said the government was demolishing homes to hand over land to corporations, calling the administration “Tughlaq-style” governance. He warned that the BRS would not stand by as the homes of the poor were destroyed. He advised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to replace the Congress party’s designated hand symbol with a bulldozer as the Congress government has become, a bulldozer of the poor,” he remarked.

The BRS legislators visited the affected areas of Hydershakote. Sun City, Langer Houz, and surrounding areas, to listen to the challenges faced by the locals especially those who are facing the threat of losing their houses. They reassured that the BRS would stand with the victims to safeguard their hard-earned properties. They pointed out that it was the previous Congress and the TDP governments, which approved these layouts and permissions for the construction of houses, besides collecting all types of taxes and charges.  (Maxim News)
