Goa CM Slams Karnataka Dy CM’s Comments on River Dispute
The leaders of Goa and Karnataka are arguing about a river.
Karnataka wants to use water from the Mhadei river, which flows through Goa.
The Goa CM is upset and said the Deputy CM of Karnataka was using rude language.
The Goa CM said the comments were typical of the Deputy CM's political party, the Congress, and that Goa will continue to try to protect the river in court.
Goa CM Pramod Sawant responded to Karnataka Dy CM D K Shivakumar's remarks.
Shivakumar said Sawant had "lost mental balance" regarding the Mhadei river project.
Sawant stated Shivakumar's comments reflect the "culture" of the Congress.
Goa will continue to pursue its claims in the Supreme Court and water tribunal.
Sawant has been fighting for the Mhadei cause even before he was an MLA.
