Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader T. Harish Rao hailed the Telangana High Court’s decision on Wednesday, preventing the state government from acting against him and BRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao based on the P.C. Ghose Commission report. The court’s ruling exposed alleged political schemes of the Congress party, according to Harish Rao.
Reacting to the court orders, Harish Rao emphasized that truth has prevailed. He highlighted the significance of justice prevailing in the face of conspiracies, underscoring the court’s role in upholding truth and fairness.
The High Court, comprising Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice G.M. Mohiuddin, issued the orders following petitions filed by KCR, Harish Rao, and others challenging the Ghose Commission report. The court noted procedural lapses by the Commission under the Commission of Inquiry Act.
Harish Rao pointed out that the High Court invalidated the commission’s remarks that infringed personal dignity, emphasizing that no actions should be taken based on such remarks. He criticized the Congress government’s alleged political motives, which he believes have now been exposed by the court’s decision.
The Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project, initiated in 2016 by the BRS government, has been at the center of the controversy. The project, considered the world’s largest multi-stage lift irrigation project, faced scrutiny over alleged irregularities. The Ghose Commission’s report, submitted in 2025, implicated KCR, Harish Rao, and others for various irregularities related to the project.
