Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy launched a scathing attack on BRS working president K. T. Rama Rao (KTR) and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy, branding them the “Bad Brothers” for allegedly obstructing key development projects in Hyderabad and nearby regions.

Speaking at a press conference in Hyderabad, Revanth Reddy contrasted the duo with former Congress stalwarts P. Janardhan Reddy and Marri Shashidhar Reddy, who were once hailed as the “Hyderabad Brothers” for their efforts toward the city’s progress.

“These Bad Brothers are blocking the Metro expansion, the Godavari water project, elevated corridors, and the Future City initiative,” the Chief Minister said.

Revanth highlighted several achievements of his government, noting that Telangana had secured approvals for new airports in Warangal and Adilabad and was pursuing permissions for additional airports across the state. He also revealed plans for a greenfield highway to support a new dry port and announced that global pharma major Eli Lilly is investing $1 billion in Telangana.

“Despite the election code during the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, we’ve attracted ₹3 lakh crore in investments within a year,” he said, emphasizing that his administration had prepared a detailed blueprint for Hyderabad’s future expansion.

Accusing the previous BRS government of corruption and negligence, Revanth alleged that it was more focused on commissions than on real development.

“The BRS regime did nothing except take commissions from contractors,” he charged, further claiming that KTR had turned Hyderabad into the “capital of drugs and ganja.”

Revanth also accused Kishan Reddy of stalling the Musi River Rejuvenation Project and challenged both leaders to an open debate on Hyderabad’s development.

“If BJP and BRS had cooperated, Hyderabad would have progressed much further,” he said. “Let’s expand the Metro, bring Godavari water to the city, and clean the Musi River.”

Urging citizens to back the Congress in the upcoming by-elections, Revanth appealed for public support to sustain the city’s growth momentum.
