After allegations, Congress MP Chamala reveals payments to RVM Constructions

He claimed the RVM owners are a former BRS MP’s relatives

After allegations, Congress MP Chamala reveals payments to RVM Constructions

Congress MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy addressed allegations from RVM Constructions regarding irregularities in tender allotments and delays in bill payments. He stated that about 80% of the bills submitted by the company to the current government had been paid. The party’s Media Committee chairman highlighted that RVM Constructions, owned by Nama Ramesh and Nama Vivek, claimed that tenders were awarded to favored contractors and bills were not being cleared with commission demands.

Reddy countered these allegations by noting that RVM Constructions had undertaken works worth ₹77.08 crore in Telangana since 2017, with only two projects secured after the Congress government took office in December 2023. He alleged that the company was attempting to discredit the Congress government despite receiving a significant portion of its dues.

The MP also questioned the political connections of the company's owners, particularly Nama Ramesh, whose family is linked to a former BRS MP. Reddy suggested that the government's payment record contradicted RVM Constructions' claims. He accused the previous BRS government of mismanaging the Kaleshwaram irrigation project and prioritizing the interests of KCR and his family over the needs of Telangana farmers.

The MP pointed out that a waterbody adjacent to KCR's farmhouse had been filled with public funds for a drip irrigation system, raising concerns about its use and the treatment of farmers.
