Former Minister and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLA T. Harish Rao alleged that motors at Kaleshwaram are being deliberately switched on and off twice a day, risking permanent damage to the machinery.
“These are not household pumps. Each motor consumes power equivalent to an entire district’s usage. Repeated on-and-off operations could destroy them, causing losses worth thousands of crores,” he warned.
Speaking to reporters at Siddipet on Sunday (August 17, 2025), he said he saw a criminal conspiracy and the Telangana Government must come clean. He also alleged that the government’s “criminal negligence” in managing irrigation projects is causing irreparable damage to farmers across Telangana.
