Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao accused the congress leaders for obstructing the project and securing the National Green Tribunal’s (NGT) stay order. He said, “It is known fact that former Deputy Chief Minister Damodar Raja Narasimha is impeding the project”
He questioned, “How can a farmer pay Rs 6lakh per day to a lawyer to argue on Kaleshwaram project?” He said that it is evident who is behind the scenes trying to hamper the construction of project.
Addressing a media conference at Pragathi Bhavan on Friday KCR said, “The stay doesn’t mean the project has stopped. It is temporary silly setback which we will overcome”. He said that the directive will be challenged in the Court.
It may be recalled that on Thursday NGT ordered the Telangana government to stop the work on Kaleshwaram lift irrigation scheme (KLIS) till it secures all required environment and forest clearances.
