Telangana Nagara Samithi president Nagam Janardhan Reddy on Thursday demanded that Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy convene an all-party meeting to discuss the awarding of multi-purpose Polavaram irrigation project in the wake of controversy surrounding it.

Talking to media persons, Nagam alleged that Chief Minister was involved in the final awarding of Rs 4,700 crore worth project works in violation of the rules and regulations.
