Chennai: Dubbing the resolution adopted by the Tamilnadu Assembly condemning the decision of Karnataka to proceed with the Mekedatu project across Cauvery as illegal, Chief Minister of the State Basavaraj Bommai on Monday said his government was committed to implement the project.
The Karnataka government has rubbished the resolution passed unanimously in the Tamilnadu Assembly and said it is bound to implement the Mekedatu project.
In a tweet, Water Resource Minister Govind Karjol said, ‘The resolution passed in Tamil Nadu Assembly has no value. Karnataka will implement the Mekedatu project. The government will take all steps for the same.’
Meanwhile in a series of tweets, the CM called the decision of Tamilnadu to oppose the project as political and accused that State of not having faith in the federal system.
‘The resolution adopted today in the Tamil Nadu Assembly against the Mekedatu project is illegal. This is an anti-people resolution wherein a State is trying to infringe upon the rights of another. This resolution shows that Tamil Nadu doesn’t believe in a federal system,’ Bommai tweeted.
