AICC senior leader Rahul Gandhi and Revanth visited the barrage constructed as part of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme and found some cracks on the barrage due to damage to the piers. Union Ministry of Jal Shakti officials also visited the barrage and found that the piers were not being constructed in a scientific manner. Annaram pump house also suffered damage due to heavy flows.
Making a statement on the motion of thanks to the Governor’s address in the Legislative Council, the Chief minister said that the judicial inquiry will bring out the facts behind the incidents of sinking of piers and pump house damage.

The probe will draw the truth in the entire episode.
