TPCC chief questions Harish Rao over Tamil Nadu temple visit
This story is about two political groups in India.
One group's leader is asking a leader from the other group some tough questions.
The question is about a trip the other leader took to a place called Tamil Nadu.
Some people say he visited temples that are connected to strange practices.
The leader who went on the trip is upset about these claims.
He sent official letters telling the other side to stop talking about it.
The first leader also talked about a big water project called Kaleshwaram.
He said the project was built badly and spent too much public money.
He asked whether the project's dams can handle heavy floods.
The two groups are now arguing about what is true.
TPCC President Mahesh Kumar Goud questioned BRS leader T Harish Rao over his reported visit to Tamil Nadu.
Goud demanded Harish Rao explain allegations that he visited temples associated with occult practices.
Harish Rao had issued legal notices to Goud and other Congress leaders over statements about his alleged involvement in occult rituals.
Speaking at a media conference in Nizamabad, Goud alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project built under the BRS government.
Goud claimed thousands of crores of public money were spent on the project without delivering expected benefits and questioned whether its barrages would withstand heavy flows.
