irrigation scam has taken away the focus from
the actual scam itself: a state that has spent
Rs 70,000 crores to build 4000 small and big
dams, more than any in the country, but despite
this dam building frenzy, has only managed to
water 17% of its cultivated land, less than half
the national average. Where has the money
gone? From RTI documents, testimonies of
whistleblowers and on ground reports, emerges
a picture of how rules were bent and broken to
favour a cartel of contractors and politicians,
leaving the people of the state high and dry.
