Harish Rao Accuses Irrigation Minister of Misleading on Kaleshwaram
BRS leader T. Harish Rao is criticizing the current government for spreading what he calls misinformation about the Kaleshwaram Project.
He claims the government, including the Irrigation Minister, is falsely criticizing the project.
Rao points out that the previous government, which included the same party in power at the center and in neighboring states, failed to secure an agreement on the Tummidihatti Barrage.
He highlights the increase in water storage capacity and the project's role in creating new farmland.
T. Harish Rao accuses Irrigation Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy of spreading misinformation on the Kaleshwaram Project.
Rao alleges the minister's claims are a single-point agenda, along with CM Revanth Reddy.

He states the Kaleshwaram project increased water storage capacity substantially.
Kaleshwaram created a significant new area for irrigation.
