Tamilisai Soundarajan, State president of Bharathiya Janatha party was in the city today to discuss with their party cadres on the upcoming local body elections.
She spoke to the press at the Coimbatore Airport on the Cauvery water issue. She stated that the 15 TMC water released by the Karnataka Government will be insufficient to meet the demands of paddy cultivation in Tamilnadu. Hence, the TN government should convene an all-party meeting and discuss on the possibilities of demanding 25 TMC from Karnataka. The on-going protests by people and political outfits in Karnataka against disbursement of water to TN is highly deplorable, he said.
She revealed that the Central Government has not warranted all the permissions to the Kerala Government for construction of dam at Attapadi.
When questioned about the local body elections, she affirmed that BJP would contest at all the wards without any alliances and they would still consider alliance requests, if proposed by any party. She insisted that unlike the state elections, the civic elections should be conducted in a fair way and evoked on the re-elections that took place in Thanjavur and Aravakuruchi, due to distribution of money by few political outfits.
