Telangana Congress on Monday said collapse of the Kaleshwaram Project has once again exposed the massive corruption and criminal mismanagement of former Chief MinisterK Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) and his BRS team.
“What they projected as a lifeline for Telangana has now turned into a monument of corruption and betrayal. With over Rs 1 lakh crore looted, the only place left for KCR and his team is jail, not bail,” said Bandi Sudhakar Goud, TPCC Official Spokesperson.
The Congress Gover-nment under CM Revanth Reddy has shown courage and transparency by ordering a CBI probe into the scandal.
Instead of answering the people of Telangana, KCR rushed to court for a stay—further proving that the Kaleshwaram Project was nothing more than KCR’s ATM, Bandi said.
CM Revanth Reddy’s bold leadership stands out in this fight against corruption. His decision to expose irregularities, poor-quality construction, and financial misappropriations is historic. The people demand that all ill-gotten properties of KCR and his associates be seized and recovered under the RR Act immediately, said a Statement by the State party unit.
“It is high time that KCR resigns even from the post of Opposition Leader and tenders an unconditional apology to the people of Telangana, particularly to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for Statehood. The so-called “defense” by Harish Rao is nothing but a cheap attempt to divert people’s attention from their monumental corruption,” he said.
The Telangana Congress family—PCC President Mahesh goud AICC Incharge Meenakshi Natarajan, Dy CM Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, Ministers Ponnam Prabhakar and team, MLAs, MLCs and senior leaders—stand united in this fight against corruption.
