In a move to bring pressure on the State government regarding submergence of irrigation projects including Kaleshwaram in the recent floods, YSRTP president Y.S. Sharmila met Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan at Raj Bhavan on Monday and submitted a memorandum urging CBI inquiry and audit on the alleged corruption in irrigation projects in the State including Kaleshwaram. She has submitted a file to the Governor in this regard and explained the issue.
Later speaking to reporters, Ms. Sharimla said that the Governor had promised to look into the issue.
“Why was Kaleshwaram project inundated by floods? Who is responsible for that? Why no action was taken against the construction agency? Why were parties like BJP and Congress silent?” asked Ms. Sharmila.
