    Nalin was leading the protest during Cong period, where he's hiding now? And bunch of other people like Gurupura swamy, BJP functionaries are deaf to this issue right now. It is clear that they used the public sentiment for their political gain and hijacked the Netravathi river movement .
    It's high time to hold these fake leaders of the canara region accountable to the water scarcity and other tragedies the people are facing despite being in naturally resourceful region.

    Nalin was opposing this project. How CM can instruct without consulting with Nalin. I think he is going to make PADA YATRA again to protest this project.
