NRR Slams Congress, BRS Over Kaleshwaram Lapses

Rao claimed the NDSA’s geotechnical and other technical tests showed serious lapses in dam safety at Kaleshwaram and criticised the state government for failing to act. He accused the previous BRS administration of treating the project as an “ATM” and said its leaders believed they could exploit it for political gain across generations. Rao also urged Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to explain the government’s inaction on what he called “massive corruption” in the project, alleging that both Congress and BRS were colluding and gambling with the lives of people.

On civic issues in Hyderabad, Rao criticised the functioning of HYDRAA, accusing the authority of selectively enforcing demolition drives. He alleged that while poor residents’ homes were being demolished, illegal structures linked to the MIM were left untouched. Citing the case of institutions run by Fatima Educational Institutions, he said the Education Department had admitted in court that permissions were lacking and that the High Court had found deficiencies. Rao demanded impartial enforcement by HYDRAA and immediate action against illegal MIM-linked institutions in line with High Court directions.

He warned that the BJP would mount a large-scale public agitation against the authorities for "the biased conduct" of Congress, MIM and HYDRAA.
