The state government’s project to enhance the prominence of Bapu Ghat had encountered opposition from the BRS and the BJP. He accused both parties of deliberate attempts to delay or block Bapu Ghat development and the Musi rejuvenation projects, even though they were crucial for Telangana’s growth and identity.
“It would be developed as an international attraction embodying Gandhian principles, akin to the way the Sabarmati Riverfront honours Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy in Gujarat.
As successors of Mahatma Gandhi’s ideology, we have a responsibility to develop Bapu Ghat on a global scale,” he remarked, expressing disappointment that BJP leaders oppose the Musi project while having previously supported riverfront projects like at the Sabarmati.
The Chief Minister questioned the tangible benefits of the Modi government’s policies, asking, “What revolutionary changes have been introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his third term? Who has truly benefited from his rule?”
He contended that the BJP regime has focused predominantly on consolidating political power rather than addressing issues critical to the farming community or public welfare. He further accused the BJP of stirring divisive sentiments between the northern and southern regions.
