If Roads Are Bad, Vehicles Move Slowly and Accidents Are Less Likely: Konda Vishweshwar Reddy

BJP senior leader and Chevella MP Konda Vishweshwar Reddy on Tuesday held the previous BRS government responsible for Monday’s tragic road accident that claimed 19 lives after a tipper rammed into a TGSRTC bus.

Addressing a press conference at the BJP state office in Hyderabad, Vishweshwar Reddy alleged that the mishap resulted from poor planning and negligence during the BRS regime.

“If roads are bad, vehicles move slowly and accidents are less likely. But when roads are good and sharp, the chances of major accidents increase,” he said.

He pointed out that the Bijapur National Highway project, announced in 2016, was delayed due to the BRS government’s failure to complete land acquisition, allegedly because of its focus on real estate interests. “The bus accident is a direct consequence of the BRS government’s negligence. It bears 100% responsibility,” the MP stated.

Vishweshwar Reddy further said he had written several letters to the previous government highlighting road safety concerns. He added that he has now requested the Union government to construct the highway in a straight alignment instead of multiple curves to prevent similar accidents in the future.
