Two Congress legislators D. Sridhar Babu and Gandra Venkataramana Reddy went to receive Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao during his visit to inspect the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project (KLIP) at Medigadda in Mahadevpur mandal on Tuesday.
Mr. Babu was elected from Manthani Assembly constituency and Mr. Reddy from Bhupalapalli Assembly constituency, both falling in the newly formed Jayashankar-Bhupalapalli district.
They presented flower bouquets to the Chief Minister while Mr. Reddy had presented a shawl to him. They said that it was just a courtesy meeting as they hailed from the same district where the KLIP works are in progress.
Mr. Babu submitted a petition to the Chief Minister urging him to take up the old Kaleshwara-Mukteeshwara lift irrigation project to provide irrigation sources to the four mandals of Manthani Assembly segment. He also urged the Chief Minister to announce Kataram as revenue division and creation of Mahadevpur and Gunjapadudu as mandals.
