Cong Turning Musi project Into An ATM: Bandi Sanjay

Hyderabad: Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar alleged on Thursday that the Congress government in Telangana was turning the Musi River project into an ATM.

Asserting that the BJP was strongly opposed to the demolition of houses of the poor in the name of the revival of the river, he claimed that the Congress was turning the Musi project into an ATM just as the previous BRS government had made the Kaleshwaram project.

The BJP leader said it was “atrocious” to borrow Rs 1.5 lakh crore for the Musi project. Stating that the state’s finances were already in dire straits, he claimed that the present government paid Rs 60,000 crore as interest on outstanding debts during the last 10 months while the previous government raised debts of Rs 6 lakh crore.

He said that people would be burdened with the debts being raised by the state government. He alleged that the Congress government has failed to implement the poll promises.
