If re-elected, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) plans to abolish the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA), as stated by party president K. Chandrasekhar Rao during a public gathering in Jagtial. Rao emphasized that dismantling HYDRAA would be a priority upon the party’s return to power.
During the event, K. Chandrasekhar Rao, also known as KCR, officially welcomed former minister T. Jeevan Reddy into BRS, appointing him as the party’s general secretary. The gathering was organized to celebrate Reddy’s transition to BRS after resigning from the ruling Congress party.
Critiquing the Congress government for establishing HYDRAA, which he criticized as detrimental to the underprivileged, KCR expressed disapproval of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s Musi rejuvenation initiative. While not opposing the project, KCR questioned the necessity of demolishing 10,000 homes for its implementation, alleging land acquisition schemes under the guise of Musi development.
Accusing the Congress administration of mandating meter installations on agricultural motors to secure additional loans under the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (FRBM) framework, KCR highlighted his resistance to such measures during his tenure as Chief Minister. He urged for BRS’s return to power, emphasizing the need to revitalize Telangana’s progress.
Praising Jeevan Reddy as a political role model, KCR underscored their enduring friendship spanning over four decades despite differing political affiliations. Jeevan Reddy’s alignment with BRS was portrayed as a strategic move for Telangana’s future, with potential ripple effects on other constituencies, as per surveys cited by KCR.
