State and central government without project
The Kaleshwaram project includes not only the state government, but also the organization of the Central Government. Central agencies like WAPCOS have participated in design and construction.

How much money was spent in the project?
CM Revanth answered the questions raised by MIM Legislature Party leader Akbaruddin in the discussion. He expressed grief that about one lakh crore rupees were wasted due to the Kaleswaram project. He reminded that people fought for water for separate Telangana state. According to the government- “So far, Rs 85,449 crore has been borrowed for Kaleshwaram works. Rs 27,738 crore (11.5 percent interest) has been borrowed from PFC, and Rs 30,536 crore (12 percent interest) has been borrowed from REC. So far, we have paid Rs 19,879 crore in the loan. There is a loan of crores of rupees. We still need Rs 47,000 crore to complete the work. “
