Kundapur, Apr 10: The protests for drinking water held by Herikudru residents near Herikudru underpass on Tuesday April 10, witnessed political blame-game between BJP and Congress parties. The people, who are tired of it, warned of boycotting elections if they do not get water.
The pipeline that supplies drinking water to villagers in Herikudru was damaged due to national highway 66 works. Therefore, people here are deprived of drinking water for the last one and a half month. The local people urged to change the pipeline near the highway and provide water.
‘We do not want dirty politics but water’
“We do not want dirty politics of you coming to us for votes. We want supply of drinking water. We are not protesting with the support of political parties. We are demanding only for water,” said the protesters.
