'Law on our side': Karnataka minister's big remark amid Mekedatu Dam row

Karnataka minister Priyank Kharge said the law supported the state's proposed Mekedatu dam project, stressing that both Karnataka and Tamil Nadu must follow the Supreme Court's directions. The remarks came amid BJP accusations of Congress double standards over opposition to the project in Tamil Nadu. Karnataka maintains its right to build the reservoir to meet Bengaluru's drinking water needs and generate hydroelectric power, while protecting Tamil Nadu's Cauvery water share.
