Kishan Reddy questions Telangana Govt’s stand on probe into KLIS flaws

Telangana BJP President and Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Development of Northeast Region G. Kishan Reddy, on Tuesday, has questioned if Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has forged an understanding with former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao in “not taking action against the corruption of previous government especially with regard to the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS)“.

“KLIS is the biggest scam of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Government but the Congress Government seems to be dilly-dallying not knowing what to do next after a powerpoint presentation was made to the group of ministers during their visit to the project site recently. Does Mr. Revanth Reddy have the guts to write to the Centre to order an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into KLIS,” he asked.

Addressing a press conference at the party office in Hyderabad on Tuesday, Mr. Kishan Reddy alleged that the Majlis Party had played a role in “mediating” a pact between the Congress Party and BRS since the “Government can fall anytime due to the miniscule majority it enjoys”. Also, he alleged, “Congress Party and corruption have a strong relationship during its years in power”.
