A tragic road accident in Telangana's Chegunta constituency has sparked political controversy, with Congress MLA Kale Yadaiah pointing fingers at delayed infrastructure work for the fatal incident that claimed the life of a BRS leader's son.
The Tragic Incident
In a devastating turn of events, Gaddam Bhoom Reddy, son of former BRS leader Gaddam Srinivas Reddy, lost his life when his car collided with a tractor-trailer on a narrow stretch of road in the limits of Jilledu police station. The accident has raised serious questions about road safety and infrastructure development in the region.
MLA's Strong Accusations
Congress legislator Kale Yadaiah didn't mince words when addressing the tragedy. "This fatal accident is a direct result of the stalled road widening project," he asserted. The MLA revealed that the crucial expansion work from Gajwel to Regode had been stuck in limbo, creating dangerous conditions for commuters.
Infrastructure Failure Exposed
The narrow roadway, which should have been widened months ago, has become a death trap for local residents. Yadaiah highlighted how the incomplete project has left the road dangerously constricted, significantly increasing accident risks. "The authorities' failure to complete this vital infrastructure work has cost a young man his life," the MLA stated emotionally.
Political Implications
The incident has taken on political dimensions, with the Congress MLA blaming administrative negligence for the tragedy. The fact that the victim was the son of a BRS leader adds another layer to the ongoing political tensions in Telangana. Yadaiah's public statements have put pressure on local authorities to address the infrastructure deficit immediately.
Call for Immediate Action
Following the tragic incident, demands for urgent road safety measures have grown louder. The MLA has called for:
- Immediate resumption of the stalled widening project
- Enhanced safety measures on dangerous road stretches
- Accountability for officials responsible for project delays
- Compensation for the victim's family
The accident serves as a grim reminder of how infrastructure delays can have fatal consequences, putting the spotlight on administrative efficiency and public safety in Telangana's development narrative.
