Hogenakkal has one shore in Karnataka's side whereas the other shore is in Tamilnadu(officially Dharmapuri district). The infrastructure relating to this project will be built on the TN's side of Hogenakkal. It is where Cauvery enters Tamilnadu. This project will never come in the way of Karnataka. Morover, this project was approved by both Karnataka and Central Government in 1998. TN agreed to Bangalore Water supply project and KN agreed to Hoge drinking water project mutually provided both states use from their allocated share. Hoge project was stopped due to various sanctions imposed on India due to Pokhran nuclear tests. I wonder why KN is opposing now.

In order to win the electoral politics, the mainstream pol. parties in TN do practise the politics of parochialism and chauvinism. They provoke the ordinary Tamilians in the name of protecting their welfare and rights. Leaders of Tamilnadu must learn to live in Federal republic like India together with friendly neighbouring states. They are more superstitious and illogical in their arguments with neighbouring states in terms of sharing of water and exploitation of natural resources. This is more than evident from their approach towards Kerala while discussing the issue of reconstruction of Mullaperiyar Dam, which is more than 110 Years old and in a dilapidated condition causing serious threat to the life and property of people of 7 districts of Kerala. The leaders like Karunanidhi are also behaving in an extremely chauvinistic manner by disrespecting the sentiments of other states and its people. The latest of the series is the water sharing dispute with Karnataka. It is also more than evident from the central allocation of funds, new projects / benefits offered to states by the union govt. Just because TN has a slender representation in the Union cabinet, they manage everything for Tamilnadu by sacrificing / denying the interests other people and states. Railway allocation is another eye opener. Tamil politicians are not hard bargainers and democratic in their behavious and perception, but they are truly stage managers! THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A HEALTHY APPROACH AT ALL!

Mr. Unni, Its clear that your intention is to oppose Tamilians without having clear picture of all the issues. These issues are differrent in nature. Dont mix up. Karnataka is illegally opposing the project despite of approving it on par with Bangalore water supply project. Understand the issues better and seperately and then argue. Dont try to mix up things.
