Telangana Deputy Chief Minister K. T. Rama Rao accused the Congress party of obstructing the planned expansion of the Hyderabad Metro.
Telangana Deputy Chief Minister K. T. Rama Rao publicly charged the Indian National Congress with deliberately hindering the extension of the Hyderabad Metro network. The allegation was made during a press interaction where KTR highlighted the importance of the metro project for the city's growing commuter demand.
The expansion, which aims to add new corridors and increase coverage across Hyderabad, has been awaiting approvals and funding. KTR asserted that political interference from the opposition has slowed down the necessary clearances and delayed implementation.
The accusation adds to the ongoing political friction between the ruling party and the Congress in the state, with both sides likely to use the issue in upcoming electoral calculations. No official response from the Congress has been recorded at the time of reporting.
