Speaking to media persons in the city on Saturday the Congress veteran said that on the one hand BJP leaders in coastal Karnataka led people’s march against Yettinahole on the other hand BJP leaders from coastal Karnataka are leaving no stone unturned to impalement the project.

“While Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel claimed that he was leading a delegation to meet union ministers to convey the people’s concern over Yettinahole project, union minister DV Sadananda Gowda said that he was unaware of such a development. These leaders are in fact fooling people,” he lamented.

“The union government is trying to show thousands of hectares of forest land in Karnataka as baron lands with the intention of exploiting it in the name of dangerous projects. Unfortunately the Congress government which is ruling Karnataka also cooperating with the centre,” he alleged.

He also slammed the ministers from coastal Karnataka who are openly supporting the river diversion project.
