The Medigadda project within the Kaleshwaram project has become a battleground for opposition parties, transforming into a weapon of criticism. The project, constructed at a cost of lakhs of crores with public funds, has faced severe scrutiny, with issues such as seepage, pillar cracks, and the intense beating of beetles coming to light. Since its inception, this project has sparked fierce clashes between the Congress and the BJP, with both parties engaging in a verbal duel.

A viral video on social media further fueled opposition criticism against the project. In Miyapur, Hyderabad, water gushes out violently from a pipeline, resembling a waterfall. A user shared this video on their social media account with the caption, 'Miyapur Lift Irrigation Project,' expressing discontent.

The opposition, particularly the Telangana Congress party, intensified its criticism by retweeting the video on social media, launching a scathing attack on the government. Allegations of the project causing water seepage within just a few years, the collapse of pipelines, and the deterioration of pillars have been vehemently raised. The Congress party accused the government of neglecting financial accountability, purity in execution, and transparency in operations. They criticized the government for its alleged favoritism towards the BJP administration and emphasized that the project had deviated from its intended purpose.

The Telangana government, led by the BJP, faced severe backlash, with the Congress party asserting that the project has become a burden on the public without yielding the promised benefits. The opposition criticized the government's priorities, stating that it lacked love for Telangana and showed more interest in political gains than public welfare.
