KTR slams Rahul after Telangana orders CBI probe into Kaleshwaram

Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K. T. Rama Rao said on Monday that the party will fight legally and politically against “whatever the Congress government conspires against them”. He was reacting to the decision of the state government to hand over the case relating to alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram irrigation project, constructed during the BRS rule, to the Central Bureau of Investigation. Rama Rao took to ‘X’ to react to the announcement made by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy in the state Assembly late on Sunday night after a marathon debate on the report of the PC Ghose Commission, which went into the alleged irregularities in the project.
“The Currency Manager (CM) of Rahul Gandhi in Telangana has decided to handover Kaleshwaram case to CBI. The very CBI that Rahul Gandhi had famously called “Opposition Elimination Cell” of the BJP. Have you any clue Gandhi on what your CM is doing?” posted KTR. The BRS leader alleged that the ruling party had suppressed the opposition’s voice inside the Assembly. “Our members were not allowed to speak. Even when Harish Rao tried to raise valid points, the Chief Minister and Ministers shouted him down. The Speaker acted as though nothing was amiss,” he said.
KTR maintained that Kaleshwaram, the world’s largest lift irrigation scheme, is an engineering marvel and a boon to lakhs of farmers. “We will not allow any attempt to sabotage this project. If necessary, we will take the fight to the people through a mass movement,” he said. The BRS leader alleged that Congress deliberately exaggerated figures to create a false narrative of corruption.
The Telangana government has decided to order a CBI probe into Kaleshwaram project issue. The government already constituted former Supreme Court judge Justice PK Ghose commission to investigate the alleged irregularities, misuse of public funds and corruption in the construction of Medigadda, Annaram and Sundilla barrages in the Kaleshwaram project..
