Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K.S. Alagiri said on Tuesday that BJP State president K. Annamalai hung onto a ‘single word’ uttered by Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Water Resources Minister D. K. Shivakumar about the construction of a checkdam at Mekedatu. He said the DMK, the Congress and the law itself would never allow the construction of such a dam.
In a statement, he said Mr. Annamalai was passing unnecessary remarks such as “not allowing Chief Minister M.K. Stalin to return” if he attended the meeting of Opposition parties in Bengaluru.
