Flaying the BRS and BJP leaders for claiming of securing Smart City project to Karimnagar town, the Congress leader alleged that the BRS leaders have misutilised the Smart City funds without any vision and destroyed entire Karimnagar town by converting the wide roads into narrow roads and relaying already laid roads, street lights, traffic islands etc.
