Seeking to dispel doubts over the Mekedatu project, which envisages the construction of a balancing reservoir across the Cauvery, Housing Minister V. Somanna on Monday asserted that the project will not be taken up by anybody other than the BJP Government.
“If the Mekedatu project has to happen, it will be us (BJP Government) under Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who will have to take it up”, Mr. Somanna said while adding that the BJP was in power at Centre as well as in the State.
Mr. Somanna’s claims come in the backdrop of the campaign taken up by the Congress for implementation of the Mekedatu project.
