In a heated dispute over the Mahadayi river project, Karnataka's Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar lambasted Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, accusing him of losing his "mental balance." Shivakumar stood firm on Karnataka's rights to proceed with the project, disputing any obstruction from the Goa government.
Shivakumar, also serving as Karnataka's water resources minister, reiterated the project was within Karnataka's jurisdiction and underlined the state's determination to push ahead. He expressed plans to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other union ministers to discuss the matter further.
As tensions flare, the Karnataka government stresses the importance of unity among its MPs and seeks to mount pressure on union ministers to ensure the project's progress, despite Goa's plan to file a contempt petition against Karnataka in the Supreme Court.
