HYDRAA a great system to protect Hyderabad: CM Revanth Reddy
The Chief Minister stated that the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) protected government lands worth Rs.30,000 crore and freed 13 park and 20 lakes from encroachments.
Speaking at the main official function at historic Golconda Fort to mark the 79th Independence Day, Chief Minister Reddy remarked that leaders who want Hyderabad to remain water poor and struggle during heavy rains, were opposing HYDRAA.
'HYDRAA is doing wonderful service in resolving traffic problems and diverting flood water within an hour or two during heavy rains. It is also working effectively in taking action against illegal constructions and restoring ponds,' he said
CM Reddy said HYDRAA was constituted to make Hyderabad a safe destination for living and to curb encroachment of water bodies. Stating that cities like Bengaluru, Mumbai and Chennai are facing flood problems, he said Hyderabad should not witness such a plight.
CM Reddy mentioned that 'TelanganaRising – 2047' vision document promises a permanent solution to Hyderabad's flooding problem with the Musi Rejuvenation Project. This vision unveils the determination to transform Hyderabad, which is being affected by floods, into a clean and beautiful city.
The document also reveals how India's Future City, built to international standards, will be a gateway to the modern world, he said.
'TelanganaRising – 2047 is a plan to radically transform the image of Telangana with the construction of the Gandhi Sarovar project at Bapu Ghat, greenfield highways, dry ports, second phase Metro Rail, radial roads between the Outer and Regional Ring Roads, Warangal and Adilabad airports, Hyderabad-Nagpur, Hyderabad-Bengaluru, and Hyderabad-Vijayawada industrial corridors. Our goal is to implement this resolution and make Telangana a key player in the country's progress by 2047,' he said.
The vision document aims to transform Telangana into a $1 trillion economy by 2035 and a $3 trillion economy by 2047.
He stated that the previous BRS government left mounting debts and arrears of Rs 8,21,652 crore.
"After the Congress government assumed power, we completed debt service of Rs 2,20,676 crore which included Rs 1,32,498 crore principal amount and Rs 88,178 crore interest amount till date,' he said.
Terming Young India Skill University and Young India Sports University as his two eyes, CM Reddy predicted that these institutions will shape the future of Telangana.
The government is determined to make Telangana the sports hub of the country. It unveiled a new sports policy with the aim of producing top sportsmen and winning gold medals in the next Olympics.
The state government decided to establish 'Young India Physical Education and Sports University of Telangana (YIPESU)'. A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with the Korean National Sports University for the management of this varsity.
CM Reddy said that the government is also setting up Young India Schools and a university for the development of education and skills. Young India Schools are being established in every constituency in 25 acres of land. He believes that these institutions will be game changers in the education sector of India. Already, 78 schools are being constructed at a cost of Rs 15,600 crore.
'My People's Government adapted a two-pronged approach. On one hand, the government set the goals to compete with global cities and on the other hand, we are delivering welfare benefits to fulfil the aspirations of the poor. Clarity in thinking and transparency in implementation are the hallmarks of our governance. We have chosen an inclusive development approach which involved everyone and created miracles. We have developed Telangana as a role model for the country within 20 months, writing a new history of transparency in governance, modernity in development, and welfare,' CM Reddy added.

KTR all in for SIR, albeit on ECI itself!
Hyderabad; BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Sunday advocated for Special Intensive Revision (SIR), not on electoral rolls, but on the Election Commission of India itself. Responding to the press conference by the ECI, Rama Rao said, 'Yes! We need an SIR! The Special Intensive Revision not of the electoral rolls but of the Election Commission of India itself.' The BRS leader said that the press conference on Sunday left all with more questions than answers. The Chief Election Commissioner's explanations seemed more like excuses than solutions, he alleged. KTR said, 'The only thing that we clearly now know is that the Election Commission of India (ECI), which is supposed to safeguard the democratic process seems to be functioning as an extended arm of the NDA. If the ECI acknowledges discrepancies in the voter list, shouldn't they also accept the dereliction of their duties? It is high time that we demand a revision not of the voter list but a revision of ECI's appointment process… a clinical overhaul of the system so that we can still continue to call ourselves a democracy.'

KTR sees dismal future for Cong's ‘Future City'
Hyderabad: BRS Working President KT Rama Rao on Sunday said that the 'so-called Future City' repeatedly mentioned by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy had no future, asserting that Reddy's ambition to turn the Hyderabad Pharma City lands into a real estate business for his family and friends will not be fulfilled. Rama Rao strongly condemned the Congress government's approach to the Telangana Pharma City lands, accusing Revanth Reddy of being a leader without vision and his decisions leading to the wastage of public money. He expressed his anguish that the farmers who gave their lands for the Pharma City project have been cheated. He criticized the government for scrapping the ambitious Pharma City project, initiated by the KCR government, and replacing it with an unreal and imaginary 'Future City'. He described the Future City promotion as an example of what happens when a state is run by a careless leader. KTR reiterated that according to the Land Acquisition Act of 2013, land acquired for a specific public purpose cannot be diverted for real estate projects for the benefit of others. He recalled that he had warned the Congress government about this in the Assembly two years ago. Despite this, Revanth Reddy's government spent hundreds of crores on PR and was now facing severe legal hurdles, which even officials are now admitting. The BRS leader said that during the BRS government's tenure, proposals were prepared for the Hyderabad Pharma City with 20,000 acres of land spread across 56 villages. He noted that local farmers voluntarily came forward and gave their lands for the benefit of the state. However, while the Congress party promised to return every single acre of land acquired for Pharma City to the farmers, Revanth Reddy's government was now betraying them by attempting to turn the same land into a real estate business for his family members and friends, KTR expressed outrage. He stated that the future of the land allocated for pharma companies has become uncertain. KTR alleged that even though the previous government had started developing infrastructure with crores of rupees of public money for the Pharma City project, Revanth Reddy's government sidelined it and was now trying to illegally divert the land for real estate under the name of Future City.
