Hyderabad, Aug.10 (NSS): BJLP leader Eleti Maheswara Reddy on Saturday made sensational comments against industrialist Megha Krishna Reddy.
Speaking at the media point in the Assembly on Saturday, Eleti said though the government has changed in the State, the control of the government was being done by Megha Krishna Reddy. Will the contractor change even if the government changes?, he asked. He alleged that Krishna Reddy was being given contracts again after doing substandard work. “Public money is being misused. Sunkishala Barrage was damaged. It did not come to the notice of the government even after 10 days,” he added asked.
He criticized the government for protecting the contractors even after doing substandard works. He demanded that Megha company be blacklisted. “The estimated cost of the Sunkishala in the past was Rs 800 crore. However, Megha Krishna Reddy has increased it to Rs 4,000 crore. Thousands of crores of rupees are being looted by the criminal contractors. Why are there no actions on the Megha company so far,” he asked.
He recalled that Revanth Reddy had made several allegations against the same Megha Krishna Reddy during his tenure as PCC chief on the Kaleshwaram project. Why is Kaleshwaram corruption not being recommended to the CBI now, he asked. He recalled that a retired judge committee had been set up on the irregularities committed in the Kaleswaram project. “The judge has not been paid salaries for three months. The government is not giving him crucial files,” he alleged.
Yeleti suspected that the government itself was in the process of diluting the committee. “We have information that kodangal works have also been contracted to be given to Megha company. He demanded a CBI inquiry into the allegations against Megha company. “Megha Krishna Reddy is making a compromise between BRS party and the Congress party leaders and making settlements. I have evidence to say that Megha has a criminal company,” he said while noting that he is ready to submit evidence wherever he wanted to submit it.
