Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Irrigation minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy on Wednesday said the state government will make all arrangements needed for BRS leaders visiting Medigadda on March 1 for a visit to the damaged key barrage of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme. Once Medigadda collapsed, he stopped talking about irrigation, Uttam Kumar Reddy said. On Rama Rao’s demand for building a cofferdam at Medigadda, Uttam Kumar Reddy said the government will not take advice from those who built a project that did not even stand for three years. Uttam Kumar Reddy recalled that the Congress government and Chief Minister Revanth Reddy invited Chandrashekhar Rao to the Assembly to speak on the Kaleshwaram project.
