A team of three Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leaders is currently in Delhi for consultations with legal experts regarding the party’s next steps in cases involving alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram project and the disqualification of BRS MLAs who purportedly switched to the Congress. The team, directed by former Telangana Chief Minister and BRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), includes BRS deputy leader T. Harish Rao, former MP Vinod Kumar, and Rajya Sabha member Vaddiraju Ravichandra.
They are scheduled to meet senior Supreme Court lawyers to strategize the party’s approach in these significant cases. The Telangana High Court is expected to announce its decision on April 22 on various writ petitions filed by KCR, Harish Rao, and others, seeking to invalidate the Justice P.C. Ghose Commission’s report on alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme.
The team will also explore the option of approaching the Supreme Court if the High Court rejects the petitions filed by the party leaders. The Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme, known as the world’s largest multi-stage lift irrigation project, was initiated by the previous BRS government in 2016, with its main phase inaugurated by KCR in 2019.
