HYDERABAD: Terming the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS) as the biggest scam in the country, BJP vice-president DK Aruna on Sunday asked why the Congress was not seeking a CBI inquiry into the issue after coming to power.
The state government is trying to delay the judicial inquiry, she alleged. Alleging that the previous government indulged in corruption worth thousands of crores in executing the Kaleshwaram project, she said: “If the conscience of the Congress government is clear, it should cancel the order issued by the BRS government and immediately seek a CBI inquiry.”
The BJP leader expressed suspicions that the Congress government was trying to save former chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. Pointing out that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy criticised the Centre and Union ministers for approving the Kaleshwaram project when he was in the Opposition, Aruna asked the former to clarify why he was keeping mum on the issue now.
