In a dramatic assertion that has set political circles abuzz, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has declared that "no one except God can stop" the controversial tunnel project aimed at addressing Bengaluru's acute water crisis.
Defiance in the Face of Opposition
The Deputy CM's uncompromising stance comes amid growing opposition to the ambitious project designed to bring Cauvery water from TK Halli to Bengaluru. Shivakumar minced no words when he stated, "We have decided to implement the project. No one, except God, can stop it now."
Addressing Bengaluru's Water Woes
The tunnel project represents a critical infrastructure initiative for India's tech capital, which has been grappling with severe water shortages. The proposed solution involves constructing a dedicated tunnel to ensure uninterrupted water supply to the rapidly growing metropolis.
Political Resolve and Public Interest
Shivakumar emphasized the government's determination to proceed with the project despite objections. "We are not going back on the project," he asserted, highlighting the administration's commitment to solving Bengaluru's pressing water infrastructure challenges.
The Deputy CM's comments underscore the delicate balance between development imperatives and public concerns, setting the stage for what promises to be a significant infrastructure battle in Karnataka's political landscape.
