State BJP chief G Kishan Reddy accused the BRS government of hiding information from the National Dam Safety Authority (NDSA). He blamed Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and his government for risking people’s lives and the economy.
Reddy, along with former Union minister Prakash Javadekar and other party leaders, spoke at a media conference in Hyderabad. He criticized the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLISP), which was promoted as an engineering marvel but had flaws in planning, design, construction, and maintenance.
The project was initially planned during the Congress government with a budget of Rs 30,000 crore. However, under the BRS government, it reached Rs 1.3 lakh crore due to redesigning and rechristening as KLIP.
Despite warnings from experts about design and construction issues, KCR proceeded with the project without considering any doubts or concerns.
