Bheemgal works: deadline set, answers missing
On July 15, BRS MLA Vemula Prashanth Reddy set August 15 as the cutoff for four Bheemgal projects. The Congress government of Telangana has yet to publicly say what, if anything, it did by then.
The August 15 deadline passed without a publicly stated project update.
BRS MLA and former minister Vemula Prashanth Reddy spent July 15 on a day-long hunger strike at his Velpur residence after police blocked his planned protest in Bheemgal. He set August 15 as the deadline for the state to sort four local works: a 100-bed government hospital, the Integrated Market Yard, the Bheemgal RTC depot, and CC/BT road works, and warned of an intensified agitation from August 16 if nothing moved, according to multiple reports.
That date has come and gone. In the public record reviewed, there is no published timeline from the Congress government of Telangana, no project status note, and no official word from the police on the clampdown BRS leaders allege preceded the July protest. Telangana Today’s tag page that carried the July report lists no follow-up confirming completion or fresh action.
The description of the projects as “stalled public works” is the BRS side’s characterisation in these reports; the underlying progress is not independently documented in the material available. What is documented is the clock Prashanth Reddy started. The Congress government set no clock of its own — and has not bothered to explain why Bheemgal should keep waiting.
