    water to Chikaballapur was promised by Veerappa Moily in his election manifesto which normally don't materialise in our country. This project was initiated to mint money for the politicians and not to provide water to the common people.

    Mind you, this is not a solo project. It's bi-party project in which both BJP and Congress are involved, spearheaded by Veerappa Moily.

    BTW, how is the progress of your chair Yeddy Sir??????…….Are you watching Brindavan or KRS park in Mysore. Normally water is transported to far way places by huge pipes which are not to be seen here but here we see open channel. Don’t worry NITI Ayog will give you 200 out of 100 for this video recording.
