“1,50,000 metric tonnes of fine sand worth Rs.150 crore was allotted to Water Works (HMWSSB) by TSMDC based on Fake Documents. When lorry drivers realised that the sand was not used for the Water Works department but diverted for illegal purposes they raised complaints with HMWSSB. Government revenue was looted. This crime happened from TSMDC,” he said on X.

“How did they approve without any official documents verification? RTI’s are not replied. An enquiry should happen on the Corporation. But who can conduct a Fair Investigation when Corruption has taken place in Chief Minister Revanth Reddy‘s own department,” he said.
