Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy questioned whether the BJP could win even a single municipality despite bringing top national leaders for campaigning. Addressing the Praja Palana–Praja Vijayotsava public meeting in Gumlapur, Karimnagar district, he challenged the BJP to deploy its entire leadership, including the Prime Minister, for municipal elections. He asserted that the Congress government has spent ₹17,442 crore on development works across 123 municipalities and seven corporations over the past two years, showcasing its governance strength. Earlier, the Chief Minister also laid foundation stones for several development projects in the area. Revanth Reddy said Congress fulfilled its promise of granting Telangana despite political setbacks at the national level, and respected the people’s mandate even when they later chose the BRS. He accused both the BJP and BRS of spreading negativity against a people-centric government and described their relationship as a “strong, inseparable bond.” Criticizing the Centre, he alleged that several promises—including national project status for irrigation schemes, Metro expansion, and infrastructure support—remain unfulfilled. He also accused the BJP of protecting those responsible for irregularities in the Kaleshwaram project, stating that despite Assembly resolutions, central agencies have not initiated action.

During the inspection, the minister directed representatives of the contracting agencies to accelerate work and ensure timely completion of both bridges. The minister also examined the progress of the Vijayawada West Bypass project, where National Highway authorities have already permitted traffic on one side of the road.

The developments are expected to significantly improve regional connectivity and ease traffic movement into Amaravati.
