BRS, MIM deceiving people on Metro Rai. The other day Telangana CM KCR announced that Metro Rail will be extended to Old City. Minister KTR also heaped praises on KCR for turning the metro rail dream of old city people into a reality. MIM also showered praise on CM KCR for the decision.
In the midst of all this, Hyderabad District Congress Committee (DCC) president Sameer Waliullah said both BRS and MIM are deceiving the people of the old city by making false promises. He pointed out "The government had allocated 500 crore in the budgets of 2022-23 and 2023-24 for the Metro Rail project in the Old City of which 100 crore was earmarked for road expansion and property acquisition."
He continued "Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) had reportedly completed the underground utilities survey and mapping for the Old City stretch in December 2022 but no work had commenced." He added " KCR government of removing the Old City corridor from the Metro Rail map."
He went on to question the KTR tweet and wondered what the need to instruct the municipal administration department to proceed with the project. He found fault with Owaisi saying instead of retweeting KTR's tweet, he should have questioned the government for the delay in the metro rail project.
