Conflicted water issues with Maharashtra cannot be negotiated in exchange of votes: Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday condemned the statement of CM Yediyurappa wherein he added that Karnataka will resolve conflicted water issues with Maharashtra if the people of Maharashtra vote for BJP in assembly elections.
Siddaramaiah added that the conflicted water issue between the two states is not something to be negotiated in exchange of votes during assembly elections.
Further writing about the issue on his official twitter handle Siddaramaiah added that ‘the reality is different than what is being shown’.
ಎರಡು ರಾಜ್ಯಗಳ ನಡುವಿನ ನೀರಿನ ಹಂಚಿಕೆಗೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದ ವಿಚಾರಗಳು ಮಾತುಕತೆಯಾಗದೆ ನೀರು ಹರಿಸುತ್ತೇವೆ ಎನ್ನುವುದು ಕೇವಲ ಮತಗಳಿಕೆಗೆ ಸೀಮಿತವಾದ ಹೇಳಿಕೆಯಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಮಹಾರಾಷ್ಟ್ರದ ಜನ ತಮ್ಮ ಪಕ್ಷಕ್ಕೆ ಮತ ನೀಡಲಿ ಎಂದು ಯಡಿಯೂರಪ್ಪನವರು ಹಾಗೆ ಹೇಳಿರಬಹುದು. ಆದರೆ ವಾಸ್ತವ ಚಿತ್ರಣವೇ ಬೇರೆಯಿದೆ.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
