“He feels that people respect him for his greatness. But it was because of the Telangana agitation, the sacrifices of unemployed youth. Now that he has removed his veil, he cannot be seen in public. His children are on the roads and speaking however they want,” Reddy said.
While government hiring was deferred for years, the state government has filled 30,000 vacant posts within 90 days of assuming office, he said.
Referring to the opposition BRS and BJP’s attack on the government’s Musi River redevelopment project, he said BJP MPs have the responsibility to ensure central funds of at least Rs 20,000 crore as the party won eight Lok Sabha seats. in Telangana.
He said BJP MP Eatala Rajender, who is also protesting over the Musi project issue, should accompany him to urge Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide funds for the project.
“Why wouldn’t Modi ji give us funds? We don’t pay taxes,” he said.
The CM alleged that the BRS is creating hurdles in the implementation of development projects because it fears being exposed before the people if the projects are completed in view of the poor track record of the previous regime.
Opposition parties should give suggestions on how to rehabilitate those who will be relocated from the Musi riverbed as part of the implementation of the Musi project instead of simply criticizing the government, he said.
The BRS has criticized the Congress government’s Musi reshuffle project, citing corruption motives. He also expressed concern about the displacement of people due to the project.
