Congress MP Rahul Gandhi alleged that Rs 1 lakh crore was looted from the people of Telangana in Kaleshwaram project on Tuesday. He said that the Congress workers were right in pointing out that Kaleshwaram was BRS’s ATM but it should be changed into Kaleshwaram as KCR (Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao) family’s ATM.
Addressing an election rally at Mahila Sadassu in Ambatpally Village, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said, "You know that there is the election in Telangana and the contest is between 'Dorala' Telangana and the public. This place has the biggest symbol of 'Dorala' Telangana, I wanted to see this with my own eyes. Rs 1 Lakh Crore was stolen from the people of Telangana here.”
“Nobody here benefitted from it. Our workers are right that Kaleshwaram is BRS's ATM but change it to 'Kaleshwaram is KCR's ATM, it is his family's ATM," he said.

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, who is in poll-bound Telangana, visited Kaleshwaram Project along with other Congress leaders on Thursday. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Rahul Gandhi said, "Kaleshwaram Project = KCR Family ATM I visited the Medigadda barrage, which is a part of the corruption-ridden Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme in Telangana."
"Cracks have developed in multiple pillars because of the shoddy construction with reports indicating that the pillars are sinking. KCR and his family are using the Kaleshwaram Project as their personal ATM to plunder the people of Telangana," he said.
