Blame game is on. When CM made a statement on 17th August, center did not respond. The relief has been announced only on the day , PM visited Bihar. These guys play while oublic suffers. If everyone knows that Kosi swells ever year why can't canals be built to supply water to the other parts of the country like MP, North Maharstra etc. These places get scant rainfall. This gives more importance to the vision of AB Vajapyee who said about interlinking of rivers and peole laughed at him. If now they understand by what he meant , he was only telling them about the future .

See the 1000 cr announced. 90% comes to the pocket of a few. So it is good for the leadres. Now you understood why they laugh at Vajapyee. Dog and political leaders are having short mrmory and take the guaranty after one month only everybody including media forgot the issue. and the local population as slave give vote in different party.

Yes, the vision of AB Vajapyee about interlinking of rivers is the only option. Only GOD knows when these politicians like Lalu Yadav realize this. When Vajapyee mooted the idea of interlinking of rivers, Lalu was the first person to jump in protest of this idea. The reason is simple. If there is a calamity like what has happened now in Bihar, Lalu will pocket 95% of amount sanctioned by Centre. He thought he will rule Bihar for ever and since floods in Bihar are a routine yearly affair, his and his family's coffers will swell every year. But unfortunately he lost the elections. The situation in Bihar started to improve under Nitish's government but he should alse realize now that interlinking of rivers will help in controlling the flood waters and at the same time provide water to drought hit areas of Bihar. Centre should immediately think of interlinking of rivers throught the country

how do you collect this water unless there is a dam at the right place,ie nepal?interlinking is not only costlier but has many ecological complications.
