The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has expressed doubts about the Congress government’s intention to go to the root of the alleged corruption in Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP), built by the previous BRS government, since it is yet to order a probe or take action against any official responsible for the design, planning, execution and maintenance.
“The government has said that an all party delegation will be taken to the dam site and other works but only a group of ministers has visited the project making varying statements. The same officials who were behind the project planning and execution are now giving power point presentations, which the ministers are telling people. There seems to be an effort to cover up the flaws in the works,” charged Rajya Sabha MP and national OBC president K. Laxman.
Talking to the media at the party office on Saturday, Mr. Laxman warned that people of Telangana will not forgive the government if it committed the same folly as the BRS in trying to present a scenario as if the project flaws were not serious.
