Telangana CM Revanth Reddy conveys his resolve to go ahead with Musi development

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy asserted that the government would build religious structures pertaining to four faiths along the Musi river as part of the Musi Riverfront Development Project so as to reflect the communal harmony the city represents.

Addressing a gathering after laying foundation for an ‘Omkareshwara Swamy Temple’ at Manchirevula on Saturday (March 28, 2026), Mr. Revanth Reddy said a mosque akin to Mecca Masjid is scheduled to be constructed at Charminar, besides a Gurdwara at the scale of Golden Temple of Amritsar at Sikh Chawni in Gowliguda, and a church on the lines of heritage church of Medak on the Nagole-Uppal stretch.

The temple will be modelled after the famous Ramappa Temple of Warangal, and will be developed as ‘Dakshina Kashi’, he averred.

The Chief Minister also mentioned a case filed against MRDP in the National Green Tribunal by the son of a “sister” from the region (a probable reference to Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader P. Sabitha Indra Reddy), and vowed that the government would forge ahead with the project come what may. He issued a veiled warning to the BRS without mentioning its name, saying the party will lose the existing status too if it goes against the project.

Earlier, he elaborated on how world class cities developed on the seashores and along river banks, and said Delhi is unable to function as the national capital owing to pollution ‘caused by Yamuna’. “Of the 29 States in India, Telangana is the only State without a coastline,” he stated, during his address.
