If this project is completed in phases, thousands of hectares of land will be irrigated, benefiting farmers. However, the Upper Krishna Project was completely ignored by the govt.
Thousands of crores of rupees are being spent on guarantee schemes, but no funds are being released for any other work. Even the ruling party's MLAs are extremely unhappy about this," he pointed out.

CT Ravi seeks minister Zameer's resignation
Speaking to the media on Monday, legislative council member CT Ravi said that the MLAs of that party have expressed dissatisfaction against the corruption in the state govt's rule. This dissatisfaction is not a private matter. This should be investigated under the leadership of the working judge. Before this, he said, minister Zameer Ahmed should resign.
"There is no Congress without corruption. There is no corruption without Congress. The govt seems to think that giving guarantee schemes is akin to a license for corruption. If it thought so, it should have implemented rate cards in all departments, he said. Raju Kage is not a BJP MLA. He himself said that not a single paisa of work has been done by the govt. The price hike after the Congress govt came to power is a big deal.
Work announcements are made. Work orders are not made. MLA Raju Kage has spoken the truth.
You have three more years. Your own party is accused of corruption, you have no morals to continue in power, he lashed out.
