Many organizations are fighting for Kaveri water. I congratulate those organizations. But where were these organizations when they marched to demand the Mekedatu project?” DCM DK Shivakumar exclaimed.
Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, he said, “Now their fight should be against the central government. “Why are these organizations not urging the central government to give permission to the mekedatu project?” he asked.
“The Mekedatu project is the only solution to the Kaveri problem. There is no point in playing politics in this. Neither these organizations nor the BJP and JDS leaders who are talking about Kaveri river water are demanding the central government to give permission to the Mekedatu project. “We are not asking for permission from the Environment Department,” he said.
“We are committed to fight for the protection of the state even in court. I have discussed this matter with a team of legal experts. “We are going to convince them about the actual condition of our dams,” he said.

“We are committed to look after the welfare of our farmers. For the same reason, the people of Tamil Nadu asked for 24 thousand cusecs of water daily. “As a result of our officials arguing that only 3 thousand cusecs can be released, now the authority has ordered to release 5 thousand cusecs of water,” he explained.
When asked by journalists about the issue of not coming to the state, he said, “The cabinet sub-committee has given a report on this issue. The minister concerned will make a drought declaration,” he said.
Aswattha Narayan has accused that “Navarangi Narayan is doing politics on Congress black”, when the journalist asked, “Oh, Navarangi Narayan is talking about blackmail politics?” Our MB Patil has answered correctly,” he said.
