Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Friday launched a fierce attack on BRS working president K T Rama Rao and Union Minister G Kishan Reddy, branding them the “Bad Brothers” for allegedly obstructing key development projects in Hyderabad and surrounding areas.
Speaking at a press conference in Hyderabad, Revanth Reddy contrasted them with former Congress leaders P Janardhan Reddy and Marri Shashidhar Reddy, once celebrated as the “Hyderabad Brothers” for their contribution to the city’s growth.
“These Bad Brothers are blocking the Metro expansion, the Godavari water project, elevated corridors, and the Future City initiative,” he said.
The Chief Minister highlighted that his government had secured approvals for new airports in Warangal and Adilabad and was pursuing permissions for more across Telangana.
He also announced plans for a greenfield highway to support a new dry port and noted that global pharma giant Eli Lilly is investing $1 billion in the state.
“Despite election code restrictions during the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, we’ve managed to attract investments worth ₹3 lakh crore within a year,” he said, adding that his administration had devised a comprehensive plan for Hyderabad’s expansion.
Revanth Reddy accused the previous BRS government of corruption and neglecting true development.
“The BRS regime did nothing except take commissions from contractors,” he alleged, further claiming that KTR had turned Hyderabad into the “capital of drugs and ganja.”
“Isn’t it true that KTR’s own brother-in-law was caught with drugs?” he asked, demanding that BRS leaders name even one project that created jobs for Telangana’s youth.
The Chief Minister 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,” Revanth asserted. “Let’s expand the Metro, bring Godavari water to Hyderabad, and clean the Musi River.”
He urged the public to ensure a Congress victory in the upcoming by-elections to continue the city’s growth momentum.
