The Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP), which is dubbed as Kaleshwaram water project is a prestigious project in Telangana and the state government often pictures the project as a unique and prestigious project in the state saying that no state has managed to pull off such a big project. The Kaleshwaram project aims to provide drinking water and irrigation water.

Spoiling the big claims being made by the TRS leaders, retired IAS officer Akunuri Muruli made sensational claims against the Kaleshwaram project and alleged that the project is a false project which was built to get commissions.

In his recent interview with a leading news channel, the retired IAS officer came down severely on the ruling TRS and said that he has not seen any foolish project like Kaleshwaram and predicted that the project might get closed in a few years.

Giving his analysis on this, the ex-IAS officer said that the project makes providing water to the field costly as it takes around Rs 50,000 to give water to one acre of land. The retired IAS officer went on to call the Kaleshwaram project a white elephant that might be closed in a few years.

The shocking allegations about the massive Kaleshwaram project coming from a retired IAS officer, who is a certified Engineer and started his career as an Engineer with the Roads and Buildings department surprised everyone. The IAS officer alleged that he has never seen any foolish project like Kaleshwaram.

Expressing his dissatisfaction with the way the Kaleshwaram project was constructed, the retired IAS officer said that it is a fake project. Akunuri Murali said that CM KCR is a bad politician. In the interview, the former IAS officer suggested what could have been done.

He said that CM KCR worked as a one in all man in the project which is the reason behind the disaster. We have experts like Hanumantha Rao, who proposed the Four Waters concept. It would have been good if the irrigation engineering expert would have been good. The project should have been closed for a year and worked on it, the retired IAS officer maintained.
