Karnataka minister says law backs Mekedatu dam amid Cauvery water row
Karnataka minister Priyank Kharge asserted that the law supports the state's proposed Mekedatu dam project. He stressed that both Karnataka and Tamil Nadu must abide by the Supreme Court's directions on the matter. His remarks came as the BJP accused the Congress of double standards over its opposition to the project in Tamil Nadu. Karnataka argues it has the right to build the reservoir to meet Bengaluru's drinking water needs and generate hydroelectric power. The state also says it will safeguard Tamil Nadu's agreed share of Cauvery water.
