Congress government had prepared DPR, claims former Minister M.B. Patil
Senior Congress MLA and former Minister for Water Resources M.B. Patil maintained that the detailed project report (DPR) on the Mekedatu project was prepared by the Congress government in 2017 for ₹5,912 crore. The figure was revised to ₹9,000 crore in 2019 by the Congress-JD(S) coalition government. He accused the ‘double engine government’ of the BJP in Karnataka and the Centre of delaying implementation of the project.
Mr. Patil said there was no stay in the Supreme Court against implementation of the Mekedatu project for drinking purposes. The Central government has to provide environment clearance while the Cauvery Water Management Authority has to approve the project.
