Former Minister Ponnala Laxmaiah demanded that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao should release a white paper on the Kaleshwaram Project indicating how many acres the project has irrigated.
He also demanded that KCR should reveal details about the money spent, how much loans were taken and the amount to be paid back regarding the Kaleshwaram Project.
Speaking to the media through the Zoom App on Tuesday, Ponnala said the Congress government executed 33 projects as part of Jalayagnam and that KCR built only four projects for exploitation.
He said that KCR realised that money is important in politics and is now politicking with money. The state is now drowned in debts, he said and added that from Independence till 2014, the state’s debt was only Rs 70,000 crore, but today it is Rs 5,00,000 crore. People are left with nothing but debt, he said.
