Overview

• R.S. Praveen Kumar called for a Special Investigation Team to probe explosion-like sounds before the Medigadda pillar collapse and urged examination of key political figures’ phone records.
• K.T. Rama Rao highlighted the National Dam Safety Authority’s swift Medigadda inspection versus its silence on Andhra’s Polavaram cofferdam breach as evidence of double standards.
• T. Harish Rao branded the government’s failure to operate Kaleshwaram motors criminal negligence and warned of mobilising thousands of farmers to switch on pumps and capture flood inflows.
• BRS leaders described the NDSA report citing design and construction flaws as a scripted effort to defame their party and criticised the lack of inquiry into earlier explosion complaints.
• The release of Justice P.C. Ghose commission findings blaming former BRS officials has fueled the party’s counter-narrative of conspiracy and sabotage.
