BELAGAVI
Karnataka Minister for Water Resources Govind Karjol has said the Karnataka government will not leave any attempt to secure its share of water resources nor will it part with even a single inch of its land to neighbouring states.
Karjol, who is also the Belagavi district incharge minister, was speaking to media persons at the circuit house here on Saturday morning.
“The government has initiated stringent measures to secure its entire share of water from Mhadei and Krishna basins by putting up honest efforts to resolve the argument with the neighbouring states.”
"We are putting up sincere and serious efforts to acquire our share of water from Kalsa-Bhandura project. Along with the Chief Minister, we have discussed the issue with the Union Minister for Water Resources Gajendra Chavan in this regard and presented Karnataka’s need for the implementation of these projects,” Karjol said.
“CM Bommai has directed Karnataka’s legal team at Supreme Court to leave no stone unturned to present Karnataka’s side pertaining to the irrigation projects in the state,” Karjol added.
He also thanked voters of Belagavi for bringing BJP to power in the City Corporation of Belagavi.
The minister also clarified that the Karnataka chief minister has given permission to celebrate Ganesh Festival for 11 days at the behest of the Hindu organisations.
Belagavi MP Mangala Angadi, MLAs Abhay Patil and Anil Benake and other BJP leaders were also present at the news conference.
