Former Telangana Minister and BJP MP Eatala Rajender on Friday appeared before Justice P.C. Ghose Commission, which is probing the alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project.

Rajender, who had served as the finance minister in the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government between 2014 and 2019, appeared before the



Commission at BRK Bhavan. The Commission was examining him as part of its investigation into the alleged irregularities in the project built across the Godavari River at a cost of over Rs one lakh crore.

Rajender is likely to be questioned about the decisions taken in the Cabinet for the construction of the project and the release of funds.
