Hyderabad: Former minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav criticised the Congress government and questioned how an administration that was allegedly struggling to provide adequate water supply to Hyderabad could deliver on its Future City plans.
Addressing a BRS meeting for the Khairatabad Assembly constituency at Telangana Bhavan on Sunday, Talasani also criticised Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy over his public remarks and accused him of using inappropriate language despite holding a constitutional office.
The senior BRS leader said the party was founded in 2001 under the leadership of former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao with the objective of achieving statehood for Telangana. He recalled the movement against what the party described as injustices related to water, funds and employment opportunities in the undivided state.
Talasani credited KCR with securing Telangana and claimed that the BRS government had transformed the state during its decade-long tenure. He alleged that people from all sections of society had benefited from the policies implemented during that period.
The former minister further claimed that public dissatisfaction with the Congress government had increased over the past two and a half years and argued that several promises remained unfulfilled.
Future City criticism dominates Talasani’s attack on government
Questioning the government’s development agenda, Talasani said the administration should first address basic civic issues before pursuing large-scale urban development projects. He argued that concerns related to water supply required immediate attention.
The BRS leader also claimed that major development works in the Khairatabad constituency were undertaken during the previous BRS government. He maintained that the party’s governance record continued to resonate with the public.
Calling on party workers to intensify their activities, Talasani urged BRS cadres to focus on public issues and strengthen their outreach efforts at the grassroots level.
He also asked party activists to begin preparations for the upcoming Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections, describing them as an important political challenge for the party.
The former minister said BRS workers should remain connected with local communities and highlight issues affecting residents while preparing for future electoral contests.
