Congress MP Rahul Gandhi visited the Medigadda Barrage of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP) on Thursday, where a few cracks developed over the barrage pillars, leading to controversy over the design and quality of the project - that the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government had been proudly claiming as a mega project built in record time.
Mr. Gandhi was accompanied by Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president, A. Revanth Reddy, CLP leader Bhatti Vikramarka, Manthani MLA, D. Sreedhar Babu and MLC T. Jeevan Reddy. Later, Mr. Gandhi posted on ‘X’ saying it showcased the corruption of the BRS government.
“I visited the Medigadda barrage, which is a part of the corruption-ridden Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme in Telangana. Cracks have developed in multiple pillars because of shoddy construction with reports indicating that the pillars are sinking. KCR and his family are using the Kaleshwaram Project as their personal ATM to plunder the people of Telangana,” he posted.
