Telangana CM Revanth Reddy Lays Foundation for Elevated Corridor

Reddy asserted that delays stemmed from the non-allocation of forest lands at Vikarabad for a naval station and the extension of lease periods for defense lands at Chandrayangutta. He criticized the previous government's handling of these matters, contrasting his administration's proactive approach.

Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy attributed delays in the Hyderabad-Ramagundam corridor project to the previous government’s failure to act on key decisions regarding forest lands and defense leases. He made these assertions while inaugurating the foundation laying ceremony for the 18.15 km corridor, including an 11.1 km elevated stretch, estimated at Rs. 2,232 crores.

Reddy asserted that delays stemmed from the non-allocation of forest lands at Vikarabad for a naval station and the extension of lease periods for defense lands at Chandrayangutta. He criticized the previous government’s handling of these matters, contrasting his administration’s proactive approach.

Interestingly, Reddy’s statements contradicted earlier remarks by Forest Minister Konda Surekha, who claimed that forest lands had been allotted during the previous government’s tenure.

Highlighting discussions with Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitaraman, Reddy underscored the importance of cooperation between the State and Union governments. He expressed gratitude for the Union government’s cooperation, particularly in facilitating the acquisition of defense lands for the elevated corridor.

Reddy, a former Malkajgiri MP, emphasized his advocacy efforts with the Union government for the project’s advancement. He reiterated the Congress government’s commitment to state development and sought continued cooperation from the Union government.

Additionally, Reddy criticized the opposition’s claims of credit for securing defense lands, asserting his role in the acquisition process. He challenged the opposition to demonstrate tangible contributions to Hyderabad’s development.

In conclusion, Reddy affirmed his commitment to advocating for the city’s development and promised to confront any obstacles in the interest of the people. He highlighted the Congress government’s past achievements and pledged to continue its legacy of progress.
