He assured the citizens that his government is committed to ensuring the efficient use of public funds and implementing policies that benefit all sections of society.
As the debate continues, the opposition’s response to Reddy’s allegations and the proposed Metro rail expansion plan will be closely watched by political analysts and the public alike.
