Telangana Congress MLA D K Aruna of the Gadwal constituency today said that the TRS could not trick the people of Palamur with lies, and claimed that the Kalwakurthy reservoir project, which was commissioned by Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao on September 9, was the brain-child of the previous Congress government.
Speaking to the media at Gandhi Bhavan on Friday, Aruna said that the project was launched by the Congress government in September 2012, but that Rao was giving all the credit to the TRS-led government.
She also said that almost all the projects in the Palamur district were initiated during the Congress regime.
"The State government is inaugurating the projects already initiated by the Congress government," she claimed.
She also accused the TRS government of giving the contract for the Kalwakurthy project to the same contractors who were put behind the bars on charges of corruption.
She demanded that the TRS-led government and the irrigation minister answer her charges.
