Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy met Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in Delhi to discuss the upcoming Gandhi Sarovar Project under the Musi River Rejuvenation initiative. The Chief Minister extended a formal invitation to the Defence Minister for the foundation stone laying ceremony of the project, set to take place in late February at the confluence of the Esa and Musi rivers. This site holds historical significance as it is where Mahatma Gandhi’s ashes were immersed in February 1948.
Revanth Reddy highlighted that the Gandhi Sarovar Project is a crucial part of the state’s Musi River Rejuvenation Project, focusing on ecological restoration and sustainable development. He also shared plans to transform Bapu Ghat into a prominent educational, cultural, spiritual, and environmental landmark reflecting Mahatma Gandhi’s values. The Defence Minister commended the state government’s efforts and vision for the project.
During the meeting, Congress MPs Mallu Ravi, Kadiyam Kavya, Anil Kumar Yadav, and Vamsi Gaddam accompanied the Chief Minister. Revanth Reddy informed the Defence Minister about the state’s intention to create the “Gandhi Circle of Unity” at the confluence of the Musi and Esa rivers. He emphasized that the Gandhi Sarovar Project symbolizes national integration and Gandhi’s timeless principles.
