G. Kishan Reddy, the BJP Chief, expressed his apprehensions about the state's prestigious Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation project. During his recent speech, he highlighted several issues related to the project's safety, escalating costs, and water delivery capabilities, urging the government to address them promptly.
Furthermore, he discussed upcoming political activities and BJP's plans in the region, emphasising the need for an alternative to the current administration. Kishan Reddy also extended festive greetings and offered support to officials following the law. Here are the key takeaways from his speech:
The pillars of the Lakshmi Barrage, a part of the Kaleshwaram project, which the state government has so vociferously promoted, have sunk
When engineers and politicians went there, they were prevented from inspecting the barrage
So far there has been no response from the government on a project where more than Rs. 1.5 Lakh crores have been spent
Our party leader Shri Etala Rajender is going to inspect the sagging bridge today
Engineers have been expressing doubts about this project which has been constructed after spending thousands of crores of rupees.
Today it turns out that their suspicions were true
On the contrary, KCR said that this is an engineering
marvel.
After reading 80 thousand books, after donning the role of a super engineer, he built the project without heeding the words of engineering experts.
Estimates of the project have been greatly increased.
This project looted the wealth of the state
Within three years of its inception, a part of the project collapsed.
In the past, when there were floods in Godavari, the pumphouses were submerged, the motors were submerged and thousands of crores were lost, and now the project is collapsing.
Gross Errors that were made in the project are slowly emerging.
KCR said that 400 tmc of water will be lifted and provided to the farmers every year.
In the last five years, 150 TMC of water has been lifted and released.
There is a need for an immediate comprehensive investigation into the safety of this project.
We demand that the state government should immediately call the Dam Safety Authority and take steps to inspect the project.
Kishan Reddy also discussed BJP's upcoming political activities and the need for an alternative to the current administration. This sets the stage for a dynamic political landscape in the state.
