BJP credits Modi govt. for Warangal airport revival, urges TG to act on land transfer
BJP Telangana president N. Ramchander Rao has urged the state government to expedite land acquisition for the revival of the Warangal Airport. He credited the Modi administration for securing the necessary waivers to make the project viable.
Why it matters
The dispute over airport development highlights the friction between state and central governments regarding infrastructure project execution and political credit.
BJP Telangana president N. Ramchander Rao on Wednesday advised Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to focus on expediting land acquisition to ensure that the Warangal Airport project progresses without unnecessary delays.
“Instead of making political statements or attempting to claim credit, the State government should hand over the required land so that airport development can proceed rapidly, fulfilling the long-standing aspirations of the people of Warangal,” he told the media at the party’s State office.
“The Narendra Modi government remains firmly committed to the comprehensive development of Telangana, and the proposed revival of Warangal Airport at Mamnoor stands as yet another example of that unwavering commitment,” he claimed.
Mr. Rao pointed out that Mamnoor Airport is one of India’s oldest airports, established during the pre-Independence era, and was once regarded as one of the largest airfields in the region. Despite its historical importance, the airport remained non-operational for several decades.
