Hyderabad: Telangana BJP president N. Ramchander Rao on Wednesday accused the Congress government of mishandling the Kaleshwaram issue after the Telangana High Court stayed proceedings related to the Justice P.C. Ghose Commission.
Rao said the High Court’s intervention raised serious concerns about the government’s handling of the process. He alleged that officials committed procedural lapses and showed negligence.
The government constituted the Justice P.C. Ghose Commission to probe irregularities in the construction and maintenance of the Medigadda, Annaram, and Sundilla barrages under the Kaleshwaram project.
However, the High Court’s stay and observations now cast doubt on the process. Rao said this development exposed what he described as faulty and misleading conduct by the government.
Kaleshwaram row mishandling sparks legal concerns
Rao alleged that the government deliberately mismanaged the issue. He claimed that leaders acted to shield key accused persons.
As a result, the handling led to legal setbacks. Therefore, he held the Congress government directly responsible for the situation.
“The Congress government bears full responsibility for creating this situation through its misleading, negligent, and politically compromised approach,” he said.
Kaleshwaram row mishandling prompts demand for Supreme Court appeal
Rao demanded that the state immediately approach the Supreme Court. He said this step would ensure accountability in the matter.
“The truth behind the Kaleshwaram irregularities must come out,” he said. “The guilty must not escape accountability.”
He added that the issue involved serious public importance. Hence, he urged the government to take swift corrective steps and fix procedural gaps.
