Telangana BJP president N. Ramchander Rao said that the party supports the State government’s plan to rejuvenate the Musi River but strongly opposes the manner in which the project is being implemented.
He alleged that large numbers of residents were being displaced “without a valid reason” and accused the government of prioritising real estate ventures over ecological restoration.
Speaking at a party-organised discussion on Musi River Rejuvenation at a city hotel on Sunday, Mr. Rao said that the BJP would stand with every family facing displacement and insisted that the project must be handled with transparency and public accountability.
Adviser on Water Policy and Management to the Maharashtra Chief Minister, Sriram Vedire pointed out that there was no structured strategy for the river’s upper catchment from Anantagiri and Parigi to Osmansagar and Himayatsagar, nor for the final stretch from Nagole to the Krishna River confluence in Vadapally.
