Bengaluru: In the backdrop of the intense protest against the Hemavathi Express Link Canal Project by members of the BJP and farmer organizations in Tumakuru on Saturday, Home Minister G Parameshwara has clarified that the work on the project has been taken up based on a report submitted by the official technical committee.
Parameshwara, who is Tumakuru District In-charge Minister, told reporters at the Vidhana Soudha that the BJP members are obstructing the Rs 1,500-crore project although the work has been started. The Deputy Chief Minister has already held a meeting to discuss the implementation of the project. The MPs and legislators who attended the meeting had urged the Deputy CM to appoint a technical committee to study the project, he said.
Parameshwara clarified that the panel had stated in its report that there were no faults in the project plan and that the work could be taken up on the link canal.
The protest against the canal work has been held by the BJP members merely for political gains, the minister alleged.
