Harish Rao Projects Helicopter Tour Feud Sparks Row: A political storm has erupted in Telangana after allegations by former MLA Peddi Sudarshan Reddy regarding the conduct of three ministers. Reddy claimed that Ministers Ponguleti, Uttam, and Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti used a helicopter to visit the Devada project site, where they allegedly consumed kallu (toddy) and chicken curry instead of inspecting work. The incident has triggered a fierce debate in state politics.
The controversy began when opposition leader Harish Rao alleged irregularities in the construction of Harish Rao Projects. He demanded a thorough investigation into the funding and execution of these schemes. The ruling party leaders, however, urged that the matter be treated seriously and not politicized. Sudarshan Reddy countered by accusing the ministers of turning a working visit into a vacation, undermining the scrutiny of Harish Rao Projects.
In his statement, Sudarshan Reddy fumed that the ministers went to the project area for enjoyment rather than duty. He specifically pointed to the helicopter tour and the reported feast as evidence of their negligence. The opposition has now demanded a formal response from the government on the status of Harish Rao Projects. Failure to address the allegations, they warned, could lead to large-scale protests across the state.
This incident has intensified the political divide in Telangana, with both sides trading accusations. The focus remains on the transparency and execution of Harish Rao Projects, as the public awaits clarity from the authorities. The government must provide a clear explanation to defuse the growing tension and restore confidence in its administration.
