Jubilee Hills Bypoll: Voters Support HYDRAA's Actions, Reject BRS Claims
In a recent election for the Jubilee Hills area, one political party (BRS) tried to convince voters that a government group called HYDRAA was doing bad things by tearing down buildings.
They showed videos of people who were upset.
But, the people who lived there didn't agree.
They told reporters that HYDRAA is actually doing good work, like cleaning up rivers and stopping floods, which is important.
They felt that this group was helping everyone.
The boss of HYDRAA also said the other party was not telling the truth and that their group only removed buildings that were in the wrong place, near water.
He explained that his teams also worked hard to clear out trash from drains when it rained a lot, helping to prevent floods.
Because people saw the good work HYDRAA was doing, they decided to vote for a different party (Congress) that they believed was focused on helping the public, not for the party that was criticizing HYDRAA.
They felt the voters were smart and understood what was really happening.
Jubilee Hills voters reportedly welcomed HYDRAA's actions, viewing the authority as crucial for protecting water bodies and mitigating flood risks.
BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao used campaign videos to portray HYDRAA as a destructive entity, a claim refuted by voters and the HYDRAA commissioner.
HYDRAA Commissioner A.V. Ranganath stated that the agency acted only on structures in Full Tank Level areas and accused the BRS of fabricating facts.
Voters indicated support for the Congress candidate due to perceived development and HYDRAA's work in reclaiming illegally occupied lands.
HYDRAA highlighted its disaster management efforts, including extensive silt removal, as a factor in gaining public recognition and support.
