CM announces CBI probe
Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy announced a CBI inquiry into the alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram project built during the previous BRS regime.
Speaking in the Legislative Assembly, at the end of a short discussion on the judicial commission’s report on Kaleshwaram project which concluded in the early hours of Monday, Reddy said it is appropriate to hand over the probe to CBI as inter-state issues, different Central and state government departments, and agencies are involved in the project,.
“Central government organisations and also financial institutions are involved in project design, construction and financing,” he said.
