Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], September 1 (ANI): BRS working president KT Rama Rao described the PC Ghosh Commission report on the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project as a “trash report,” accusing the Congress of conspiring with the BJP to permanently close down Telangana’s lifeline project.
Speaking to reporters at Gun Park Martyrs’ Memorial along with BRS legislators, KTR 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 warned.
The BRS leader alleged that Congress deliberately exaggerated figures to create a false narrative of corruption. “Repairs to the Medigadda barrage will cost only Rs 350 crore. Yet, the government claims losses of Rs 1 lakh crore. Even Revanth Reddy’s own relatives are asking how Rs 94,000 crore suddenly became Rs 1 lakh crore,” KTR remarked.
He charged that the Commission violated the Commission of Enquiry Act and was prepared only to malign KCR and the BRS. “This is not a Ghosh report; it is a Trash report. The Congress has no sincerity, only conspiracies,” he said.
KTR further alleged that both Congress and BJP were hand-in-glove in tarnishing Telangana’s progress. “In no other state does the NDMA investigate every mishap. But here, even minor issues are blown out of proportion. This is a political conspiracy,” he said.
Stating that BRS would continue its legal battle against the report, KTR said the party would meet to decide on the next course of action.
He said, “The people of Telangana know who fought for water, funds, and jobs. They also know the difference between Congress’s decades of neglect and the development achieved under BRS.” (ANI)
