Prakash Raj wades Into Mahadayi row, says 'Kannadigas have right to the water'

News Network

January 25, 2018

Wading into the Mahadayi river row, multi-lingual actor Prakash Raj on Thursday said that “we Kannadigas have a right to the water”.

The issue has taken over the political discourse in Karnataka, with pro-Kannada outfits staging a state-wide bandh against the Centre’s inaction over the river sharing dispute with Goa.

The dawn-to-dusk bandh coincides with BJP’s chief Amit Shah’s visit to Mysuru for a public meeting.

Tech giants Wipro and Infosys have declared a holiday for their employees, while passengers have been left stranded at bus depots in Bengaluru.

Metro services in the city remained unaffected. Schools in southern districts of Mandya and Bengaluru will remain shut for the day, but those in northern districts like Gulbarga are functioning as normal.

The pro-Kannada outfits have also called for shutdown in the Congress-ruled state on February 4, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits poll-bound Karnataka.

Comments

He is a Naxal Sympathizer . When asked about Cauvery water dispute he supported Tamil Nadu and today he talks about Kannadigas. He has no moral right to do so.

He spoke from his heart!

True artist who stands for the people. Keep it up

If you have the right to the water then you should do something for preserving method also. Dont hope by looking other states water. You people cant implement proper method to ensure optimal use, save, presevation, keeping for future and planting trees getting rain.

I dont think so he will join in political party and contest in election. Basically he is a communist ideology believer and in Karnataka left party alone cant make govt. Congress or other party alliance needed. But no other party wont follow communist ideology (which does not mean communist ideology is bad. I mean congress or other political party doesnt have proper ideology)

Publicity stunt. Soon he will join in political party and forget what he spoke before

Only prakash raj shown the courage to speak against modi, speak for truth, stands for truth.

He is real hero. No other film actors wont speak about such social issues. All are speak, just for making controversy.

Changing Ramanagara's name an insult to Sri Rama: HDK

News Network

January 5,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 5: Lambasting Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa over the proposal to rename Ramanagara as Nava Bengaluru, former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy on Sunday said that such a move will be an insult to Lord Ram, after whom the district is named.

In a series of tweets, Kumaraswamy accused that renaming the district was a pretext to sell its fertile irrigated land to capitalists. Yediyurappa also wants to settle a score with me by renaming it, he alleged

"If Yediyurappa wishes to develop Ramanagara, he should release the funds allocated in the budget. If you want to develop it further, you will find support from me and my people. But, don't set fire to the districts' culture and identity by changing its name," he tweeted.
