    Hyderabad Metro controversy: KTR raging on L&T's return, said- 'CM Revanth Reddy's dictatorship with dictatorship'


    BRS Executive Chairman K.K. T. Ramarao (KTR) has made serious allegations against Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy about the Hyderabad Metro project. KTR said that the L&T company faced many problems due to CM's 'ego and unilateral dictatorial attitude', resulting in the company to withdraw from the project.

    He has demanded that Revanth Reddy should clarify why L&T went away despite the lease period of 2070. Talking to the media at Telangana Bhavan, KTR said that L&T out of Hyderabad is 'indelible blot' for the state. He claimed that the Revanth government took important decisions in a 'irresponsible and thoughtless' manner, which some media misunderstood.

    Metro work project brought boom

    In 2008, KTR reminded the then Congress government to start a metro project under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. At that time the Metas company won the tender, but L&T was later assigned this responsibility.

    KTR said that in 2014, the metro work was completed only 25% till the BRS government came to power. The KCR government took the initiative to complete it fast and the first phase was started in 2017. Even during the Kovid crisis, the government supported L&T by giving an interest-free loan of Rs 900 crore.

    CM Revanth Reddy accused of KTR

    In addition, the metro was expanded from Hitech City to Raydurg and a 69 -km network was completed. KTR also said that the BRS government had planned to expand the metro to Shamshabad Airport, for which the tender process was completed.

    However, the Revanth government canceled the project as soon as he came to power, which KTR termed as 'indiscriminate'. He warned that such decisions weaken the trust of investors and damage the progress of Telangana.
