BRS working president KT Rama Rao criticised the Congress government for delaying the eagerly anticipated Kothwalguda Eco Park, describing the project as a victim of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's poor administration. He accused the Revanth Reddy government of prioritising politics and publicity over public welfare.
Taking to X ( previously Twitter) on Wednesday, KT Rama Rao noted that the BRS government had nearly completed most of the work almost two years prior. Nevertheless, the 125-acre project remains unopened to this day. “A world-class park designed for the people of Hyderabad is left in a state of uncertainty due to the government's ineptitude. The Congress regime is marked by incompetence and indifference,” he stated, characterising it as ‘hopeless governance.
The Eco Park, located along the Himayat Sagar lakefront, was planned to be a significant urban attraction featuring India’s largest aviary, an aquarium, boardwalks, landscaped gardens, and camping facilities for the weekends. It was initiated in October 2022 and had seen consistent progress during the time the BRS was in power.
The BRS working president noted that the work rate has decreased since the Congress took office, and recently it has halted completely because of insufficient administrative backing. He mentioned that he raised this concern 13 months prior, but the government did not take any action. "An ineffective government leads to poor governance," he remarked.
