HUBBALLI: Activists demanding free up of water from Mahadayi river in Goa made up our minds to urge CM Siddaramaiah to lead an all-party delegation to PM Narendra Modi amid a bandh referred to as by the BJP in Nargund town of Gadag district on Wednesday. The bandh passed off peacefully.
The saffron celebration used to be protesting the Goa Congress' opposition to CM Manohar Parrikar's letter to B S Yeddyurappa agreeing to consider Karnataka's demand for consuming water. BJP staff alleged that though Parrikar used to be willing to solve the water dispute, the Goa Congress used to be no longer.
Business institutions, schools, schools and banks remained close and a few vehicles plied on the roads. Commuters struggled to succeed in their vacation spot as there used to be no bus carrier till the night time. Gadag superintendent of police Santosh Babu mentioned no untoward incident used to be reported and the city returned to normalcy within the night time.
Former ministers Basavaraj Bommai and C C Patil, MLC S V Sankanur, former legislator Kalakappa Bandi and others took section within the protest. Patil mentioned the Mahadayi factor used to be handed over to the tribunal by the UPA executive. "However, Yeddyurappa tried to solve the issue out of the tribunal. The Congress government in the state has opposed the move. To condemn this, the bandh has been called. I urge CM Siddaramaiah to solve the issue by convincing Congress leaders in Goa," Patil mentioned.
At the meeting, Mahadayi activists led by Veeresh Sobaradamath made up our minds to renew their demand. Shankar Ambali, a detailed aide of Sobaradamath, advised TOI that it used to be resolved to urge CM Siddaramaiah to take an all-party delegation to PM Modi and persuade him to settle the topic out of the tribunal. "The delegation should be taken by February 22 as the final hearing will be held at the tribunal till that day. The issue needs to be settled out of the tribunal by then. If it is not possible, the chief minister and his cabinet colleagues should take us to New Delhi and stage a dharna in front of the PM's house. If the CM fails to do so, we will stage a dharna in front of the CM's house in Bengaluru," Ambali warned.
