Congress’ padayatra — Namma Neeru Namma Hakku — seeking early implementation of Mekedatu drinking water project culminated here on Thursday at a massive rally which appeared to set the party’s tone for the Assembly elections next year.
Putting up a united front, with all the senior leaders making their presence in front of thousands of party workers and leaders, the party announced that Mekedatu would be the first project to be implemented when the party comes to power.
“When the party comes to power, Mekedatu will be the first to be implemented to ensure water for people,” said AICC general secretary in charge of Karnataka Randeep Singh Surjewala, setting the tone for the road ahead. “The BJP has let down Karnataka. The double engine government has committed double fraud on the State. This is not a political fight, but a commitment. Why has the BJP not approved the project yet?”
