BENGALURU: Arguing that the scheme in its present form will deprive Karnataka of its due share of water, the state government said it will oppose the river linking project mentioned in the Un ion Budget 2022-23.
“The Centre has said it will proceed with the scheme of interlinking Cauvery, Krishna and Pennar rivers if there is consensus among the states on the DPR (detailed project report),” chief minister Basavaraj Bommai said. “We need clarity that we will get our due share of water. The DPR was prepared by the UPA government, according to which Kar nataka’s share has been reduced. We had objected to it in the past and our stand will continue. ”
