Telangana Govt committed to completing irrigation projects: Revanth Reddy

Hyderabad, May 14 (UNI) Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy affirmed on Wednesday that the Congress government is committed to completing pending irrigation projects and ensuring transparency in their execution.
He was speaking after distributing appointment letters to newly recruited Assistant Engineers (AEs) and Junior Technical Officers (JTOs) in the Irrigation Department at a function held at Jalasoudha.
Congratulating the recruits, the Chief Minister said, “You are not just employees — you are part of an emotional movement that birthed Telangana. The statehood struggle was rooted in our collective aspiration for water, and you are now its representatives.”
Highlighting past failures, CM Revanth Reddy criticised previous governments for incomplete and substandard projects despite spending over Rs two lakh crore.
“Even after ten years of Telangana’s formation, major projects remain unfinished. People should question where that money went,” he said.
Referring to the much-touted Kaleshwaram Project, the Chief Minister labelled it a “monumental failure,” stating, “Built at a cost of lakhs of crores, Kaleshwaram failed to irrigate even 50,000 acres and suffered structural collapse within three years. It stands as a global example of how not to build irrigation infrastructure.”
He alleged that basic engineering protocols, such as soil testing at Medigadda, Annaram, and Sundilla, were ignored. “When engineers act on the instructions of politicians with limited technical knowledge, disasters like this happen,” he warned, urging the newly appointed engineers to uphold professional integrity.
Revanth Reddy emphasised the Congress government’s commitment to strengthening the irrigation sector. “In just 15 months, we have filled 1,161 posts in the Irrigation Department. This shows our intent,” he said, pledging fast-tracked completion of key projects such as ESLBC, Sitarama, Devadula, Nettempadu, and Sammakka-Sarakka.
He also addressed the delay in Group-I recruitment, alleging political interference from previous regimes. “We are aware of those who tried to block the Group-I process. Rest assured, we will complete these appointments soon,” he said.
The Chief Minister reiterated that water remains the most significant sentiment in Telangana and vowed to restore public trust through the efficient and corruption-free execution of all irrigation projects.
