Revanth dig at BJP for the delay in ordering CBI probe into Kaleshwaram project
Ready to constitute House Committee to investigate land encroachment by Harish Rao’s brother
CM Revanth Reddy speaks in the Assembly
Hyderabad, March 29: Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy lambasted the BJP for not ordering a CBI probe in the Kaleshwaram project despite the state government making several pleas for the last one year.
Speaking in the Assembly, the Chief Minister pointed out that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home minister Amit Shah openly made a statement that the KCR family siphoned off funds allocated for the Kaleshwaram project. It was Union Minister G Kishan Reddy who also commented that the Centre is ready to order the CBI probe and put KCR and Harish Rao behind the bars within 48 hours of the state government being ready. ” Anticipating the centre will react promptly, the state government wrote a letter to the centre requesting to handover Kaleshwaram scam to CBI,” CM Revanth Reddy said wondering why there is no official reply from the union government for a CBI probe.
The Chief Minister alleged that the BRS and BJP colluded in the Kaleshwaram scam. In a quid pro quo, the BRS transferred the vote bank to BJP in the Lok Sabha elections in Telangana state. The CM appealed to the BJP leaders to give suggestions only after the arrest of KCR and Harish Rao.
CM Revanth Reddy also levelled allegations against Harish Rao’s brother Mahesh Rao threatened the owners of private Industries and grabbed hundreds of acres of lands by using Dharani portal at Balanagar Mahabubnagar district. The government is ready to constitute a House Committee to probe into the land encroached if the BRS leaders – KTR and Vankatrami Reddy are ready.
