Making a point-by-point rebuttal of charges made against the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP) built during the BRS rule, senior leader and Ghanpur (Station) MLA Kadiyam Srihari asserted that the KLIP proved a boon for Telangana by creating 3.04 lakh acres of new ayacut and stabilising 17.08 lakh acres, totalling 20,33,572 acres.
Mr. Srihari gave a PowerPoint presentation at Annaram barrage of the KLIP during the BRS’ Chalo Medigadda programme in Mahadevpur mandal of Jayashankar Bhupalpally district late on Friday evening. He was among a battery of BRS leaders, including MLAs, MPs and MLCs, who accompanied BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao to the barrage.
Earlier, the BRS leaders visited the Medigadda Barrage across the Godavari river in the same mandal.
