A What happened
Irrigation Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy held a press conference to clarify the Industrial Land Transfer Policy, which he claims has been in effect since the BRS government. He labeled opposition criticisms as unfounded and politically driven. Reddy stated that the policy aims to transform Hyderabad into a pollution-free city by relocating industries outside urban areas. He also refuted allegations of corruption, describing the policy as transparent and beneficial for state revenue. Additionally, he addressed claims of a ₹50,000 crore scam related to power projects, asserting that the Bhadrachalam-Kothagudem Power Project, initiated during the BRS regime, was poorly managed and outdated. Reddy concluded by urging the public to recognize the truth behind the opposition's misinformation.
