KCR testifies in Kaleshwaram Project investigation
Former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) showed up before a judicial panel investigating the Kaleshwaram irrigation project, which has been under scrutiny for nearly a year. The commission is digging into questions about the project's soaring costs and construction problems. Other key leaders, including KCR's nephew T Harish Rao and BJP's Eatala Rajender, have also faced the panel recently.
Why the project is in news
The Kaleshwaram project was billed as a game-changer for irrigation but has ended up in controversy over massive spending and alleged structural failures. The National Dam Safety Authority even called it "probably" India's biggest man-made disaster—raising big questions about how public money is spent and who gets held accountable. What happens next could shape how future projects are managed across the country.
