He reiterated that as the principal opposition, the BRS was demanding for a judicial inquiry into the Sunkishala incident and blacklist the contract agency MEIL, until the inquiry is completed. However, instead of acting against MEIL, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy had decided to reward them with the Kodangal Lift Irrigation Scheme.

“Wonder why this generosity and unconditional love to a company that he himself had labelled ‘East India Company’ and an exploiter of Telangana wealth?” he asked.
