Kannada organisations have criticised the joint statement of the Chief Ministers of Goa and Maharashtra that they will fight the Mahadayi issue against Karnataka.
They said that the statement of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant that they will jointly oppose Karnataka’s efforts to take up irrigation projects in the Mahadayi basin, is highly condemnable.
Ashok Chandaragi, convenor of Kannada organisations in Belagavi district, has said that Mr. Shinde and Mr. Sawant have erred in understanding the Kalasa Bandori Nala scheme.
