Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], November 17 (Desk): Union Minister G Kishan Reddy visited Musi slums in Hyderabad and spent a night there with the locals.
Speaking about his experience, Reddy said that the Telangana government was trying to break the house of the people.
“The CM was saying that these people do not have proper houses to stay in and are living in houses full of mosquitoes and in unhygienic places. I have been staying with these people in the Musi catchment area for the last 15 hours. These people have been living here since a very long time, and not even a single one of the families here is ready to leave their homes. They have drainage facilities, proper water facilities, Aadhar cards, ration and after all this if the Telangana government is trying to break their homes, then it is wrong,” Reddy said.
Further, the Union Minister said Congress had given 6 guarantees and 420 sub guarantees but could not achieve anything and could only talk big.
“The people here are ready to save their homes no matter what the situation is. They will not let the government run their bulldozers here. They should build a retaining wall here, it can be done in less money and the government can fulfill the expectations of the poor. Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi had given 6 guarantees and 420 sub guarantees. They have not even accomplished them. They don’t have money. They can only talk and not do anything,” he further added.
Additionally, as a part of Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) ‘Musi Nidra’ program, Malkajgiri Parliament member Eatala Rajender visited the New Maruti and Nagar Satya Nagar colonies early morning to meet the people residing near the Musi Catchment area, as per a press release. 
Rajender stayed overnight in Phanigiri Colony and accepted Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s challenge to stay near Musi River catchment area.
Eatala Rajender and other leaders visited areas near Musi catchment areas and had breakfast with colony residents this morning.
The Musi slum is a geographical region where water drains into the Musi river, heavily dumped with untreated sewage and waste. The settlements on the riverbank have also contributed to the river pollution.
People living in the Musli slums face significant health risks due to contaminated water and poor sanitation. (Desk)
