Bengaluru: CM Siddaramaiah slams Goa minister’s comment against Kannadigas


Bengaluru/Panaji, Jan 15 (Agencies): The war of words between Karnataka and neighbouring BJP ruled Goa over the Mahadayi river water sharing dispute, has worsened with Goa planning to file a contempt petition before the Supreme Court and the Mahadeyi Water Dispute Tribunal against Karnataka for allegedly resuming work on a canal at Kankumbi on a Mahadeyi tributary "in violation" of the apex court order.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah termed as 'reprehensible,' the alleged abusive words used by Goa water resources Minister Vinod Palyekar against Kannadigas, a charge dismissed by the latter. Palyekar had reportedly used the abusive words on Saturday when he visited the site where Karnataka is allegedly constructing a canal.

"The abusive words used against #Kannadigas by @BJP4India Irrigation Minister from Goa are reprehensible to say the least. However we hold no grudge against the people of Goa. We will continue to strive to secure drinking water from #Mahadayi for our people," Siddaramaiah said in a tweet.


Last year, the apex court had ordered Karnataka to stop work on the construction of the canal at Kankumbi, which was aimed at diverting water from the Mahadeyi tributary. Goa now claims they have photographic evidence to prove that the work has begun. The Goa Chief Secretary Dharmendra Sharma has written to his Karnataka counterpart over the ‘ongoing work’ on the tributary, which he said was in violation of the Supreme Court order.

Karnataka, which has locked horns with Goa on sharing Mahadayi water, is seeking release of 7.56 tmcft water for the Kalasa-Banduri Nala project. This project is being undertaken to improve drinking water supply to the twin cities of Hubballi-Dharwad and districts of Belagavi and Gadag.


Goa to file contempt plea

Goa Water Resources Department Minister Vinod Palyekar said here on Sunday that the state would file the contempt petition in the first week of February. Last year, the apex court had ordered Karnataka to stop work on the construction of the canal at Kankumbi, which was aimed at diverting water from the Mahadayi tributary. Goa has claimed that they have photographic evidence to prove that the work has begun.

“The ongoing case before the tribunal would be heard again in the first week of February during which we will file contempt petition before it (tribunal). Similar petition will also be filed before the Supreme Court,” Palyekar said.

Goa Chief Secretary Dharmendra Sharma has written to his Karnataka counterpart over the “ongoing work” on the river tributary canal at Kankumbi, which he said was in “violation” of the Supreme Court order. Goa

Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on Saturday told PTI that the chief secretary had written a letter to his Karnataka counterpart “pointing out to the violations of the SC directives by resumption of the work on a canal at the Mahadayi tributary (at Kankumbi village)”.

    Section 294 of the Indian Penal Code lays down the punishment for obscene acts or words in public. The other sections of Indian Penal code which deal with obscenity are 292 and 293. Whoever, to the annoyance of others;
    (a)Does any obscene act in any public place, or(b)Sings, recites or utters any obscene song, balled or words, in or near any public place,Shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three months, or with fine, or with both.

    Regardless of party affiliations, those Kannadigas consider to be one should be supportive to CM Siddaramaiah.
    This Goa MLA should take his words back and tender unconditional apology. If not defamation case should be filed against abusive MLA for such language against fellow citizens of India.

    Hindus do not want CM Siddu's apology. Congress party majority members are Hindus. Only BJP and Sanghis are demanding apology. CM Siddu's attack is only on BJP and Sanghis who are playing Hindutva card to divide for votes.
    CM Siddaramaiah is himself a proud Hindu Kannadiga Indian.

    BJP must apologize for their minister insulting Kannadigas. BJP allowing outsiders to insult Karnataka CM/Kannadigas. First outsider BJP UP CM Yogi and now this other outsider BJP Goa minister insulting. BJP will get good lesson from Kannadigas during elections. BJP think they can take Kannadigas votes for granted by just playing Hindutva card.
    Good befitting reply from Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah.
