In a bid to convince the Centre about the need to clear Karnataka’s long-pending projects, including Mekedatu, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said he was ready to lead an all-party delegation to Delhi, if need be, to meet Central authorities.
Announcing this after a meeting of all-party floor leaders and former irrigation Ministers, Mr. Bommai said government would try to get clearances for the State’s projects when Karnataka Water Resources Minister Govind Karjol visits Delhi either on Monday or Tuesday.
The Chief Minister would also visit Delhi soon after the completion of the ongoing legislature session to meet Union Jal Shakti Minister and other central authorities. “If these efforts do not help, then we will take an all-party delegation to Delhi,” he said. Former Prime Minister H. D. Deve Gowda and MPs from the State would be part of the delegation, he indicated.
