Three years, zero Hyderabad houses? KTR asks

KTR accused Revanth Reddy’s Congress government of demolishing poor families’ homes while failing to build new ones in Hyderabad. The zero figure remains unverified; the government’s own records do not publish a city-specific completion count.

The government has published statewide housing figures, but not a Hyderabad-specific completion count.

BRS working president K. T. Rama Rao has accused Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s Congress government of demolishing poor families’ homes in Hyderabad while failing to build a new house in the city since taking office. The claim is political, not independently established: Telangana has not published a Hyderabad-specific completion dataset that proves or disproves the alleged zero.

KTR said the Musi project could be carried out without demolishing homes and alleged that houses in full-tank-level areas linked to Congress leaders were being spared. No property-by-property enforcement record supports that allegation. The Musi Riverfront Development Corporation confirms the project is active and lists master-planning tenders; the supplied records do not establish the earlier BRS claim of a Rs 16,000-crore, no-displacement plan.

The Congress government has announced the Indiramma Indlu scheme, with Rs 5 lakh per house and a first-phase target of 4.5 lakh homes across Telangana. Official records show sanctions and completed houses in the state, including Bhadradri Kothagudem, but not how many were completed inside GHMC limits. Revanth Reddy has publicly directed officials not to disturb poor encroachers while clearing rich ones. The city-specific answer remains unpublished. Hyderabad residents, unlike government spreadsheets, cannot live in a statewide average.
