In a passionate response to ongoing criticism, BRS MLA and former minister Harish Rao stepped up to defend the Kaleshwaram irrigation project against what he called misleading attacks from the Congress party. He expressed frustration over the opposition’s tendency to politicize development initiatives, pointing out that only a tiny fraction—2 out of 85 pillars at the Medigadda barrage—had any issues, yet Congress has blown this out of proportion.
Harish Rao also called out the Congress for staying silent on the more serious problems faced at the Banakacharla barrage, questioning their selective outrage. For him, this isn’t about politics but about the future and welfare of Telangana.
Backing his colleague’s strong words, former minister KTR highlighted the TRS government’s dedication to delivering projects efficiently, contrasting it with the corruption and mismanagement that marred the previous Congress administration. KTR’s remarks emphasized the sincerity and hard work behind the Kaleshwaram project, which stands as a beacon of hope for farmers and the people of Telangana.
At the heart of their message is a deep commitment to the state’s progress. Both leaders made it clear that for the TRS government, Telangana’s growth and water security are far more important than political point-scoring. Their united stance reflects pride in what has been achieved and confidence in the road ahead.
