Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy have decided to pursue a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project executed during the previous BRS regime. Following a Telangana High Court directive restraining action against former CM K Chandrasekhar Rao based on the PC Ghose Commission's findings, the government plans to formally request the CBI to initiate an inquiry. Legal experts and Supreme Court advocate Abhishek Singhvi have advised that no legal obstacles prevent the CBI investigation, noting the High Court did not fault the commission's formation or report.
