Hyderabad: The Telangana Congress on Tuesday accused the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) of falsely taking credit for civic and infrastructure projects in Jubilee Hills, which the Congress government under Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy had initiated and funded.
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) spokesperson Syed Nizamuddin criticised BRS leaders for misleading voters. According to him, they are filming campaign videos in front of completed Congress projects and falsely projecting them as their own. “It is unfortunate that those who ignored this constituency for ten years now want to steal credit for our work,” he said.
Congress: Projects predate by-election
To support his claim, Nizamuddin cited the recently completed U-turn on Tolichowki Road. The Congress government approved it after residents raised traffic concerns. “Even so, a BRS leader shamelessly claimed it was their initiative,” he added.
He clarified that all visible development across Jubilee Hills falls under a ₹300-crore urban improvement programme. These works were sanctioned long before the bypoll was announced. “This isn’t campaign-time construction. These are overdue projects that we took up through regular governance. We believe in delivery not distraction,” he asserted.
‘Congress builds, BRS borrows’
Nizamuddin pointed out that the Congress-led administration launched comprehensive infrastructure projects across the constituency. These included road repairs, drainage upgrades, traffic systems, and new public spaces. “The results are visible and measurable. People on the ground already feel the difference,” he said.
He accused the BRS of desperation. “After neglecting this area for ten years, they’re now trying to hijack progress. Their videos are not proof of development—they’re proof of guilt,” he remarked.
Revanth’s city-wide development focus
Highlighting Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s vision, Nizamuddin said the Congress remains committed to inclusive urban development. “We’re not focused on one colony we want every neglected corner of Hyderabad to improve,” he said.
He encouraged voters to verify political claims. “Ask them clearly—who sanctioned the project and when did work begin? The answer will always point to Congress,” he said.
He concluded by reaffirming the party’s approach. “Our governance is something people can see, use, and benefit from. BRS may borrow our footage, but they can’t borrow our intent,” he said.
