KTR Questions Revanth Reddy Over 200 Cr Miss World Spending
KTR vs. Revanth Reddy: The Political Showdown Continues
Telangana’s political landscape is witnessing heated exchanges between BRS leader KTR and Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. The latest controversy revolves around public spending on international events, with KTR questioning the ₹200 crore allocation for the upcoming Miss World 2024 in Hyderabad.
Formula E Scam Investigation Slows Down
Previously, the Formula E race in Hyderabad, held during the BRS government’s tenure, sparked a major controversy. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) was brought in to investigate alleged financial mismanagement involving KTR. However, after an initial surge, the probe slowed down, leading to further political arguments.
KTR Criticizes Revanth Over Miss World 2024
Taking to social media, KTR accused Revanth Reddy of hypocrisy, stating:
“Apparently spending ₹46 crore for Formula – E race in Hyderabad was wrong & will attract cases being filed. But spending ₹200 crore of public money to conduct Miss World, a beauty contest, is right! What is this perverse logic? Can you please explain?”
KTR’s Argument: Formula E vs. Miss World
KTR pointed out that the Formula E race boosted Hyderabad’s global reputation, yet the BRS government faced corruption allegations for funding it. In contrast, Revanth Reddy’s administration is now preparing to spend ₹200 crore on Miss World, and KTR questioned the economic returns of such an event.
Revanth Reddy’s Justification for Global Events
In response, Revanth Reddy defended the Miss World expenditure, stating that his goal is to position Hyderabad as a global city. According to him, hosting international events like Miss World will contribute to this vision and enhance Hyderabad’s global standing.
However, KTR maintains that the issue with the Formula E case was not just about hosting the event but the alleged financial irregularities under his watch.
Conclusion: Political Battle Over Public Spending
The political rivalry between KTR and Revanth Reddy continues to intensify, with public funds for global events becoming a major point of debate. While Revanth aims to transform Hyderabad into an international hub, KTR is questioning priorities and accountability in government spending.
