“Families in Tears at BRS Bhavan, Fearing Loss of Homes Under Musi Riverfront Beautification Project”
Hyderabad: Several families, fearing the loss of their homes as part of the Musi Riverfront Beautification Project, met with BRS leader and former Minister T. Harish Rao today at the Telangana Bhavan. These families, many of whom have been residing on the Musi riverbed for decades, voiced their concerns over the impending demolition of their homes.
In an emotional scene, women also attended the meeting, carrying their small children, with tears streaming down their faces. They expressed their anguish in heart-wrenching tones, sharing the pain of losing the homes they have lived in for years.
During the meeting, Harish Rao assured the affected families that the BRS Party stands with them. He promised that the party’s legal cell would provide 24-hour assistance, ensuring their homes and livelihoods are protected. “We will stand by the oppressed, and the BRS legal team will fight till the end against the Revanth Reddy-led government’s unjust actions,” Harish Rao said, offering reassurance to the anxious families.
Harish Rao expressed his deep concern for the families who are at risk of losing their homes. “These houses represent the life savings and emotional bonds of thousands of families,” he stated. “The government’s unjust actions have left these families on the streets, and we will not stand by silently.”
He urged the state government to reconsider its decision before it’s too late. “Even now, there is time for Revanth Reddy’s government to review this unjust decision,” Rao emphasized. He called on the government to prioritize the welfare and well-being of its citizens instead of pursuing demolitions under the guise of development.
Harish Rao also made a strong appeal to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, urging him to take note of the situation in Telangana. Rao highlighted that the Congress Party had spoken out against similar “bulldozer justice” actions in northern states and requested that the party show the same seriousness in Telangana.
In addition, Harish Rao demanded immediate intervention from Rahul Gandhi to stop the demolition activities being led by Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. He stressed the need for an all-party meeting to address the concerns of the 25,000 families affected by the Musi project.
To further support the families, Harish Rao assured them that a delegation of BRS MLAs would visit the affected areas on Sunday. He reiterated that the BRS legal team will be available round-the-clock to provide legal aid and assistance to the residents in their fight to save their homes.
