Though the Kaleshwaram project was projected as the best thing to happen in Telangana by the previous BRS government, even the MLAs seldom had the opportunity to visit it with the project kept out of bounds for the Opposition MLAs and the media for long.
However, Tuesday was different with MLAs, officials and the media getting an opportunity to witness the project right from the pillars though the occasion was bit negative to see the damaged pillars. “All that glitters is not gold” is what the government tried to prove to the MLAs who were taken aback by the damage to the pillars within a few years of their construction. This was the first exposure to 90% of those visiting the site.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, accompanied by several Cabinet colleagues, visited the Medigadda Barrage in the Bhupalpally district, expressing dismay over the visible extensive damage. Among those present were ministers Uttam Kumar Reddy, Ponnam Prabhakar, Jupally Krishna Rao, Tummala Nageswara Rao, along with MIM MLAs and MLCs, and CPI MLA Kunamneni Sambasiva Rao.
