Telangana CM Revanth Reddy said he had plans to turn the polluted Musi river into a vibrant one like the Thames — in just 36 months.

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, currently in London, lashed out at the BRS on Saturday, 20 January, warning its leaders that he would bury the party in a pit of 100 metres depth in the Lok Sabha elections.
Addressing a meeting of London-based non-resident Indians (NRIs), he targeted former chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, saying that the BRS would disappear for good after the Parliamentary elections due in a couple of months.
In reply to questions from the audience, he said: “There would be no trace of the BRS after the Lok Sabha elections. The BRS leaders are describing KCR as a tiger who is getting ready to come out of rest. This does not deter us. Our party workers have a cage and a net ready. They will trap the tiger and hang it from the branch of a tree upside down.”
His comments elicited a sharp response from the BRS Working President KT Rama Rao.
The chief minister said that he would extensively tour the entire Telangana state after 26 January to ensure that the BRS does not exist any more after the Lok Sabha polls.
The BRS leaders have not shed their arrogance even though the people had taught them a fitting lesson in the recent Assembly elections, he said.
“They (the people) had trampled the BRS under their feet and yet they have not come to grips with reality,” he said, adding that the Congress would force the BRS to shed even the remaining ounces of arrogance in them in the Lok Sabha polls.
He said that the Congress secured people’s mandate after it had told them that the party was trying to usher in a new order — that of people’s governance, and moving away from the rule of the feudal forces under which the people in Telangana had suffered for a decade.
“We have formed government in the state with the blessings of the people. I have come here and am interacting with the people of Telangana in London. This is all because the people have blessed the Congress,” he said.
Revanth Reddy said that he had held discussions with officials of Port of London on how Musi river in Telangana could be developed on the lines of the Thames.
He said the Musi river has become highly polluted ad it was in need of urgent attention.
“I want to develop the Musi river in such a way that Hyderabad would compete with global cities,” he said, promising that, in just 36 months, the Musi would look exactly like the Thames, buzzing with economic and recreational activity.
