Rai slams hypocrite BJP' for fooling people through Yettinahole politics

March 19, 2016

Mangaluru, Mar 19: Even though all the three major political parties of Karnataka are equally responsible for the controversial Yettinahole river diversion project, the Bharatiya Janata Party is trying to fool the people of both Dakshina Kannada and parched districts, said Congress leader B Ramanath Rai.

“It was then BJP government of Karnataka during the tenure of Sadananda Gowda as chief minister which approved the controversial project. Everyone knows this fact. But, the hypocrite BJP is holding Congress responsible for the project and playing dirty politics,” Mr Rai told media persons in the city on Saturday.

“In one part of Karnataka BJP leaders are demanding the speedy implementation of the project and accusing the Congress government of delaying it and in another part of the state (Dakshina Kannada), the BJP leaders are fighting against the project and accusing Congress of hastening to implement it. This is height of hypocrisy” he lamented.

Mr Rai said that BJP, Congress and JD(S) will be equally responsible for the Yettinahole project. “It may become success or failure. Politicians of all three parties are responsible for it,” he added.
