Chodankar alleged that BJP and its leaders are responsible for reduced water in the Mhadei basin, which has affected Goa.
Reacting to the admittance of Chief Minister Pramod Sawant that water level of Mhadei basin is reduced, the GPCC president said it is evident that BJP government in the State is trying to hoodwink people on Mhadei issue. “It is strange when the Chief Minister says that out-of-court settlement is not possible over this dispute with Karnataka, when the neighbouring State is also ruled by BJP and at the Centre too,” Chodankar said.
“There was report of NIO saying Mhadei water will reduce if it is diverted. CM should bring this report in public domain if he cares for Mhadei and Goa,” he said adding, “Sawant has no moral right to say Mhadei is his mother. Because he has compromised on Mhadei.”
