Dr Ch Rohin Reddy, Khairatabad District Congress Committee President, has criticized Municipal Administration Minister K Tarakarama Rao’s statement about developing Hyderabad like Tokyo. He pointed out that KTR’s father, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, had previously promised to transform Hyderabad into a city resembling Dallas, USA, but the citizens are still waiting for that promise to be fulfilled.
During a media interaction after conducting a door-to-door visit in various localities of the Khairatabad constituency, Dr Rohin Reddy criticized the BRS government for underestimating people’s memory and assuming they can be easily deceived with ambitious city development dreams. He emphasized that the citizens remember all of the “broken promises” made by the government, especially those related to the development of Hyderabad.
Dr Rohin Reddy highlighted the developmental work carried out during the Congress tenure, including significant infrastructure projects such as an international airport, a 160-km Outer Ring Road, an 11-km long elevated PVNR Expressway, as well as comprehensive networks of bridges and roads. He also emphasized the Congress government’s initiatives in providing drinking water supply to Hyderabad from Krishna and Godavari rivers, launching projects such as the Hyderabad Metro Rail, an underground cabling system, and a comprehensive storm water drain improvement program.
In contrast, Dr Rohin Reddy accused the BRS government of neglecting the maintenance of existing infrastructure and mishandling funds. He expressed disappointment over the government’s inability to prevent recurring flooding in the city during the monsoon season, adding that the BRS government has failed to maintain the development achieved in Hyderabad, which cost more than Rs 1 lakh crore between 2004 and 2014.
He also expressed concern regarding the lack of a Monsoon Action Plan by the GHMC and criticized Minister K Tarakarama Rao for discussing monsoon preparedness only after the arrival of the first rains. Dr Rohin Reddy encouraged the youth to participate in the Rajiv Gandhi Online Quiz Competition by calling 7661899899 and using the referral code “ROHIN.”
