Blaming the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government, the Congress-run Telangana government on Tuesday said that the Medigadda barrage under the state’s irrigation Kaleshwaram project was damaged last year due to mismanagement and lack of maintenance, among other things.

Chief minister Revanth Reddy along with ministers took a group of journalists to the site to show the current situation at the barrage, which became an issue during last year’s Assembly polls
