Sharmila alleges corruption in Kaleshwaram project, demands CAG probe

Hyderabad, Oct.22 (NSS): Demanding a probe into the alleged corruption in Kaleshwaram project, YSR Telangana Party president YS Sharmila on Saturday said that she would keep fighting until an investigation is initiated in the matter.

Speaking to the media, Sharmila said that she had met Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) Girish Chandra Murmu in Delhi on Friday and explained to him that alleged corruption took place in the development of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP).

Accusing Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and his family members of involving the scam, she said that during the construction of the project, the State’s exchequer has been robbed of nearly Rs one lakh crore.

Sharmila told the reporters that she had first met the CBI and later approached the CAG office.

She said the CAG office had responded positively to their complaint and agreed that all the aspects of Kaleshwaram project, the malpractices, embezzlement of funds and favouritism will be looked into.

“The CAG has assured us that the irregularities in the Kaleshwaram project must be audited, and he would certainly look into the issue. I am confident that the concerned authorities will look into the corruption committed by KCR and his family and will hold them accountable,” Sharmila said. (NSS)
