BRS working president KT Rama Rao took a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after Telangana government decided to hand over the Kaleshwaram project case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
KTR shared an image of Rahul Gandhi's post on X, dated Jan 31, 2024, in which the current Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha had called Central agencies "BJP's opposition elimination cell". "Have you any clue Mr. Gandhi on what your CM is doing?" KTR asked in a post on X to Rahul Gandhi. The Telangana government has decided to order a CBI probe into Kaleshwaram project issue. The government already constituted former Supreme Court judge Justice PK Ghose commission to investigate the alleged irregularities, misuse of public funds and corruption in the construction of Medigadda, Annaram and Sundilla barrages in the Kaleshwaram project. KTR further wrote, "The very CBI that Rahul Gandhi had famously called "Opposition Elimination Cell" of the BJP. Bring it on, whatever it is that you conspire against us, we will fight legally and politically. We have faith in judiciary and the people Satyameva Jayate," while further taking an apparent dig at CM Revanth Reddy by stating that "Currency manger" of Rahul Gandhi has decided to hand over this case to probe agency. The Ghose Commission of Inquiry submitted its report to the government on July 31, 2025. The state cabinet approved by the commission report on August 4, 2025. The state cabinet also took decision to table the report in the assembly and discussed in detail. The chief minister pointed out that it was KCR who shifted the barrage to Medigadda from Tummidihatti. "The reason for changing the technology was the then Irrigation minister T Harish Rao". The CM alleged that the BRS rulers swindled public money through Kaleshwaram project. The government ordered an enquiry as per the guidelines, CM Revanth Reddy said. (ANI)
