Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 11 (ANI): Ahead of BRS party chief and Telangana's former CM K Chandrasekhar Rao's appearance at PC Ghosh Commission, police force was deployed at Hyderabad's BRK Bhavan on Wednesday. KCR is expected to appear before PC Ghosh's Commission in connection with alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram project. Previously, BRS MLA and former Irrigation minister Harish Rao and BJP MP Etela Rajender, who previously served as Finance Minister in the BRS government appeared before the commission.

Earlier, Telangana Irrigation and Civil Supplies Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy had held the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government responsible for the project's failure, calling it the 'biggest man-made disaster' since Independence and the 'most expensive engineering failure' caused by any state government in India.
