Former chief minister claims BJP merely makes announcements, no project has taken off
Former chief minister H.D. Kumaraswamy has sought time from Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai to discuss irrigation-related issues. “The announcements by the BJP have remained merely statements. If they intended to start the projects, they would have started. The government is facing political problems. I have submitted a memorandum to the Governor seeking the President's intervention to direct the government to provide approvals,” he told reporters in Chennapatna on August 16. “The cost of the Yettinahole project, which is meant to provide drinking water to Kolar and Chikkaballapur districts, was ₹8,000 crore. The cost has now escalated to ₹23,000 crore. There are delays in problem-solving. The Yettinahole project cost can eventually escalate to ₹50,000 crore.”More Related News
