Tired my best to provide water in Tumkur: Deve Gowda

Sira, Oct 31 : Janata Dal (S) supremo H.D.Deve Gowda on Saturday sought to clarify that neither he nor his party ever tried to prevent water from Hemavati being diverted to Tumkuru district.

The Hemavati reservoir is built in Hassan district, which is a bastion of the Gowda family, and Tumkuru being the tail-end beneficiary of this project never got its due.Hence, there is always great degree of apprehension among the Tumkuru electorate about Gowda and his family being involved in thwarting this project to benefit the Hassan electorate.

Keeping this in mind just three days prior to the bypolls in Sira, Deve Gowda attacked his former party colleague and Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah, asserting that there has always been a ploy against him and his party by some people who later joined the Congress to become the Chief Minister.

“It is a known fact that Hemavati river water will not reach here.Despite best efforts, it won’t reach.That is the reason why the H.D.Kumaraswamy-led coalition government envisaged the Upper Bhadra project, which can quench the thirst of parched areas of Tumkuru.But none wants to remember this, instead they only want to highlight Hemavati,” he alleged.

Deve Gowda further said that he and his family members were not the ones who were stopping water from coming to the people, but the national parties were the real culprits.

“Our own friends who were with us before joining other parties in search of greener pastures are fanning such misleading campaigns.I leave it to you to decide, whom to believe and whom not to,” he said while seeking votes in Sira in favour of Ammajamma, the widow of Sathyanarayana, who succumbed to prolonged illness two months ago.

Meanwhile, former Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President G.Parameshwara during his campaign rally asked the electorate to vote in favour of Congress candidate T.B.Jayachandra.

“Do not forget, Jayachandra is the one who ensured that tanks in Sira are filled to their brim whenever he was in power.Outsiders never used to give their daughters for marriage to the people of Sira for the fear of non-availability of water.Jayachandra has worked hard to ensure water for all of you, so vote for him,” he said.

The Sira constituency in Tumkuru is going to the polls on November 3, along with Rajarajeshwari Nagara in Bengaluru
