Telangana Congress president A. Revanth Reddy said Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao was resorting to ridiculous claims of foreign forces creating cloudbursts leading to floods in the Godavari, and that it was a tactic to divert public attention from the submergence of Kaleshwaram project due to faulty construction.
If the Chief Minister had such sensitive information, why didn’t he inform the Centre so that preventive action could be taken, Mr Reddy asked and demanded that the Centre call Mr.Rao for questioning on his claims and investigate into the entire episode.
Mr. Reddy, along with CLP leader Bhatti Vikramarka, MLA D. Sreedhar Babu, MLC, T. Jeevan Reddy, was speaking to reporters after a three-hour meeting where party leaders discussed the havoc caused by floods, crop loss and other issues related to the State. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Vikramarka.
