Congress leader Shabbir Ali taunts Telangana govt on dams

Hyderabad: Congress leader Shabbir Ali on Sunday welcomed the statement of irrigation minister T. Harish Rao that the TRS government does not have a detailed project report of Kaleshwaram project.

Mr Shabbir Ali said detailed estimates are prepared when a government constructs even a small road or a room. “The government has initiated the tender process for Rs 1,50,000 crore without any DPR. This qualifies to be the eighth wonder,” he said.

When the TRS government could not prepare a DPR in 25 months, one could well imagine the fate of the execution of the project. “Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao will need an Alla-din’s lamp to construct the projects in two-three years,” he said.
