KTR slams Telangana CM, demands apology for 'defaming Kaleshwaram'

Hyderabad, Sept 8 (UNI) BRS working president KT Rama Rao (KTR) launched a blistering attack on Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and the Congress government, accusing them of hypocrisy, corruption, and betrayal of Telangana’s farmers.
Addressing the media at Telangana Bhavan on Monday, he demanded that the Chief Minister apologise for maligning the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project while simultaneously depending on its waters for new schemes.
"The very leaders who once mocked Kaleshwaram as 'Kuleshwaram' are today calling it Kalpavriksha and Kamadhenu. Yet they continue to insult the project in public while reaping its benefits. This is duplicity at its worst," KTR said.
