BRS Built Kaleshwaram on Foundation of Lies, Says Uttam

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Irrigation minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy on Friday dismissed the visit to the Medigadda barrage by the BRS, calling it “laughable.” He also asked if BRS working president K.T. Uttam Kumar Reddy declared, “Our government will take criminal action against those responsible as per law.” The Vigilance & Enforcement Wing had been tasked with fixing responsibility for various lapses, mistakes, and actions that had thrown the project into jeopardy after the partial collapse of the Medigadda barrage. On comments made by Sriram Vedire, the adviser to the Union Jal Shakti minister, suggesting that the Congress government was not providing documents sought by the NDSA, Uttam Kumar Reddy said, “What the NDSA has asked for is not available because these reports do not exist.” He said the then BRS government had ensured that none of the required checks, inspections, or investigations were carried out at the barrage. With respect to reports that L&T had sub-contracted work to another company that was not on the books, Uttam Kumar Reddy said investigations were continuing to get information on that aspect.
