Hyderabad, March 6 Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said on Friday that the state government will build the "greatest city in the world" on the outskirts of Hyderabad, which would attract top business leaders like Elon Musk.
Speaking after the inauguration of Eco Hill Park at Kotwalguda here on Friday evening, he alleged that the opposition BRS is creating obstacles for the state government's development initiatives, including the rejuvenation of the polluted Musi river here.
"We are building the greatest city in the world. This is just the beginning. The development that will take place here would attract anyone in the world, from Elon Musk to Trump, to come here... We were recently discussing with business organizations related to Trump about coming here," he said.
Eric Swider, Director of Trump Media and Technology Group Corp, who attended the Telangana Rising Global Summit organized by the state government in December last year, had then said that the firms he represents will be investing Rs 1 lakh crore in Telangana's upcoming "Bharat Future City" near here, over the next 10 years.
Reddy also said that the government is planning for international-level development, including elevated corridors, along with the Musi river rejuvenation project.
He alleged that BRS Working President K T Rama Rao is behaving in such a way that he would create obstacles for any development initiatives of the state government.
Referring to the Sabarmati riverfront in Gujarat, the cleaning of the Yamuna and Ganga rivers in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh respectively, Reddy said that his government is taking up the Musi riverfront development in a similar way.
After rejuvenation, the "night economy," comprising hotels and other commercial establishments, would be developed along the Musi river.
As part of the special 99-day program of development works initiated by the state government on Friday, the government has kicked off the inauguration of the Eco Hill Park and other development works on the first day, he said.
