Siddipet: Former minister T Harish Rao said the Congress had attempted to project the BRS government in bad light by propagating that the entire Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS) had collapsed when two pillars of Medigadda barrage were damaged.

Addressing the gathering after distributing CMRF cheques to beneficiaries at his camp office in Siddipet on Sunday, Harish Rao asked how the irrigation department could pump water into Ranganayaka Sagar and other reservoirs in Siddipet if the entire KLIS had collapsed.
