Hyderabad: Congress MLA from Kalwakurthy Ch Vamshichand Reddy alleged that the ruling party had been unofficially diverting water from Kalwakurthy Lift Irrigation Scheme (LKIS) to Dindi.

However, the ruling party had been resorting to water theft and was diverting the water to Dindi, he alleged and said people of Kalwakurthy were facing acute drinking water problem due to this.
