Telangana Leaders Clash Over Water Projects
There is a big argument between political leaders in Telangana about a water project called PRLIS.
The BRS party, led by KCR, says they did a good job on the project.
But the Congress party, led by Revanth Reddy, says BRS made bad decisions that cost a lot of money and hurt the state.
They also say BRS didn't get permission for some changes.
Revanth Reddy wants to investigate these decisions.
Both sides are blaming each other for not doing what's best for Telangana.
They are also arguing about water sharing with other states.
This debate is happening before an important meeting in the Assembly where they will talk about these issues.
Revanth Reddy even said that KCR and Harish Rao deserve to be hanged for the injustice caused in irrigation projects, while BRS accuses Congress of spreading lies and hurting Telangana’s sentiments.
BRS accused of inflating progress reports and misleading the public about PRLIS completion.
Congress claims BRS's decisions led to cost escalations and compromised Telangana's interests.
Revanth Reddy announced an investigation into BRS's decision to shift the PRLIS source from Jurala to Srisailam.
Congress argues that BRS made decisions without Cabinet approval, indicating corruption.
Political tensions highlight disagreements over irrigation and state development in Telangana.
