Can Congress give guarantee of Cauvery water to Mandya, asks Kumaraswamy
The HinduFormer Chief Minister and Mandya JD candidate H.D. Kumaraswamy on Tuesday lashed out at the Congress government for what he called “misleading” the people in the name of guarantee schemes and asked whether it can give a “guarantee” of Cauvery water to the people of Mandya. Paddy and sugarcane crops have gone dry in Mandya for what he called “artificial water shortage” created by the government in Mandya, he charged. He accused the Congress government of doing “injustice” to the people of Mandya with regard to Cauvery water. Mr. Kumaraswamy also accused the Congress government of not looking after the interests of the people of Karnataka on the Cauvery issue and joining hands with a party at the national level that is opposed to the Mekedatu project.
