It was once the best and convenient place to reach and barely took more than 45 minutes if one had to get there. We are talking about the Begumpet airport and today, it will take no less than three hours of process and planning to make it to the Shamshabad airport and that too for a local flight also spending hundreds of rupees. Meanwhile, a lot has been on about the future of the Begumpet airport.
While there are ideas to sell it out for realtors since there would be agitation from many ends Congress realizes that, hence the government is silent. In case Congress comes into power, it will sell off the Begumpet airport land to private realtors and MNCs it seems, there is also an idea to bring formula-one grand prix circuit on this land.
That was the dream of Chandrababu who failed to bring that in his reign and now it appears that the Congress are gunning for the same achievements, but all these are pushed to subsequent term and will take shape if Congress wins again. In fact, another idea of Congress government is to make it a training school for pilots, which is not a cash-cow thought.
