BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao came down heavily on HYDRAA, accusing it of derailing Hyderabad’s growth. “Does HYDRAA have the courage to demolish the illegal house built by Revanth Reddy’s brother Tirupati Reddy in the Durgam Cheruvu FTL zone?” he asked.

KT Rama Rao condemned the demolition of poor people’s homes while sparing the rich and powerful. He expressed anguish over the suicide of a woman named Buchamma in Kukatpally, who feared HYDRAA would destroy her house.

“HYDRAA is functioning as a blackmail racket for Congress leaders—extorting the poor, threatening builders, collecting illegal RR taxes. Even the Prime Minister acknowledged these wrongdoings,” KTR said.

He also challenged Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, daring him to ask defected MLAs to resign and recontest if they truly believed they have public support.

He said the Chief Minister should present the record of his 20-month rule to the people and face by-elections as a referendum on his governance. Referring to the recent Supreme Court judgment, KTR stated that the MLAs who jumped parties are now struck with fear of defeat.

Speaking at a massive gathering of key BRS workers from Serilingampally constituency on Sunday, the BRS leader said, “Even though a few leaders betrayed the movement, our workers have kept the pink flag close to their hearts.” He accused the Congress government of weaponising the HYDRA task force to serve blackmail interests.

“It is because of HYDRA’s unlawful activities that Hyderabad’s real estate sector has collapsed,” he said. KTR questioned whether Revanth Reddy, who borrowed more in 20 months than BRS did in 10 years, has the courage to even talk about development.
