CM Hints No Arrest for KCR Despite KLIS Liability
The current Chief Minister, Revanth Reddy, is considering not arresting the former leader, KCR, even though a report says KCR is responsible for problems with the Kaleshwaram project.
Reddy thinks there isn't much difference between KCR staying at his farmhouse and being in jail because both would be monitored.
There's a lot of pressure to punish KCR for issues with a big irrigation project.
The Chief Minister seems to want to deal with this more politically than through the law.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy hinted he may not arrest KCR despite the Ghose commission findings.
The commission fixed liability on KCR for the Kaleshwaram project issues.
Reddy stated there is little difference between KCR's farmhouse and jail in terms of supervision.
Demand is growing to hold KCR and others accountable for KLIS irregularities.
Reddy appears to be addressing the issue politically, not just legally.
