Massive BLOWBACK to BJP from a Kannadiga!!
"I am a Kannadiga, only then an Indian."
Former chief minister of karnataka HD Kumaraswamy said that when it comes to the Megha Dadu Dam project is our right and the state. The government of karnataka has spent Rs. The tamil Nadu government is protesting against the construction of a new dam for Rs 9,000 crore.
The Union government has spurred prime minister Narendra Modi and Union Water Resources minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat not to support the karnataka government's plan. They have also filed a petition in the supreme court upon the Megathattu project. However, karnataka chief minister Basavaraj Bommai has categorically stated that the implementation of the Meghadatu Dam Project has not changed.
Meanwhile, secular Janata Dal (JD (U)) leader and former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy gave an interview to reporters yesterday. I don’t want to keep water and politicize people’s emotions. But when it comes to our state issue, I am first from kannada state and then Indian. My state is important to me.
I do not want to do politics in the name of nationalism. The Meghadatu Dam Project is our right. We will be committed to implementing the dam project. ”
Earlier, bjp general secretary CD ravi had said, “Instead of acting on emotions, and act as if the nation is important. First of all, I would be supportive of india and not look at drinking water emotionally. Water should not be a major issue in politics. We need to resolve this issue smoothly. "
BJP leader CD Ravi's remarks caused a stir in the karnataka bjp and in politics. Following this, he said that he would soon go to delhi and meet the Union Ministers to discuss the Megha Dadu Dam. The bjp in karnataka and tamil Nadu have been at loggerheads over the construction of the Megha Dadu Dam.
