Let BJP get approval from Centre for Mekedatu project

Bengaluru, March 15: Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar today said that the BJP was resorting to propaganda to put the government in bad light.

They have launched a misinformation campaign unable to bear the government’s efficient handling of the water crisis.”

Asked if any BJP MP who has missed the ticket was joing the Congress, he said, “I can’t comment on that at this moment.”
