Seeking early implementation of the pending irrigation projects of north Karnataka, the ‘Krishna, Mahadayi, Navli Sankalpa Yatre’ will be held from April 13 to 17 from Nargund in Gadag district under the aegis of the Uttar Karnataka Swabhimani Vedike.
Addressing presspersons in Hubballi on Monday, former Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council and president of the vedike S.R. Patil said that north Karnataka had always been meted out injustice, particularly in the implementation of irrigation projects.
Clarifying that it was a apolitical movement launched to highlight the injustice meted out to the region, Mr. Patil said that it was not going against his ‘father’ (the party) and Congress leaders could participate in the movement.
