Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State executive council member and party candidate from Bhuvanagiri Assembly constituency Gudur Narayana Reddy has promised to clean up the Musi river on a war footing if he is elected as MLA. He said he will get the job done within 18 months as the work has been neglected for decades.
The BJP leader said the river has been reduced to a cesspool with unchecked pollution,making it dangerous for the environment. Though people of the surrounding mandals have been urging the State government to take up cleaning of the river, their appeals have fallen on the deaf ears.
Mr. Reddy has been touring Valigonda mandal as part of his campaign programme and meeting people of several villages where he had accused the BRS government of ignoring the mandal in the past 10 years with not even an iota of development.
