Terming the Congress’s padayatra from Mekedatu ‘a stunt for publicity’, Water Resources Minister Govind Karjol on Wednesday said that the Congress had no genuine intention for the implementation of the project.
“All the documents and files related to Mekedatu is with the Water Resources Department. A perusal of these documents show how the project progressed under different Governments. There is nothing to lie,” he told presspersons here. “The Congress, however, is stating that the documents in the department are a lie. The documents show how Karnataka lost out when the Congress was in power owing to laziness and lack of accountability.
He said that the Congress leaders were using bad language throughout the padayatra, and that the voters would teach them a lesson. “Even during the Sindhgi byelections, Congress leaders, including Siddaramaiah, belittled Dalit leaders and voters taught them a good lesson by electing a BJP candidate,” he alleged.
