Former MLA and senior BJP leader M. Raghunandan Rao has demanded the government request the Centre for ordering a probe into the entire Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project which he alleged was the “biggest scam” since Independence in the country.
Mr. Raghunandan Rao did not concur with the Congress government’s announcement for a probe by a High Court judge and asserted that only a CBI investigation will ferret out the truth. He reminded that Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy had demanded such a probe when he was just the TPCC president accusing the then BRS government of largescale corruption in the project.
“We fear that there is an effort to limit the project deficiencies and corruption to Medigadda barrage only where the piers have sunk into the ground. It is not fair to target a single company when other big infrastructure companies are involved,” he said.
