The court’s verdict on the Mhadei issue will be binding for all three states, according to C.T. Ravi, the BJP desk in-charge of Goa. The matter is currently subjudice, and all three states, including Goa, Maharashtra, and Karnataka, will have to abide by the court’s decision. The BJP leader also admitted that his party lost the recent elections in Karnataka due to a lack of cooperation among the leaders, a mistake on their part. However, Ravi noted that the BJP managed to secure its vote bank, and claimed that the Modi government has done remarkable work in all sectors over the last nine years. Ravi further added that BJP means schemes while the Congress means scams.
The Union Minister of State for Tourism and Ports, Shripad Naik, BJP state president, Sadanand Tanawade, and general secretary, Damodar Naik, were present at the press conference where Ravi spoke to the media. Despite the party’s recent loss in Karnataka, Ravi emphasized that both Karnataka and Goa are essential to the BJP as a national party.
The Mhadei river issue has been a contentious one between Goa, Karnataka, and Maharashtra for a long time, with each state demanding its share of the river’s waters. The matter has been in court, and Ravi’s statement highlights the importance of accepting the court’s verdict. This decision is significant as it implies that the decision will be final, with no room for appeals or protests from any party.
It is essential to resolve such issues amicably and through legal channels, as these disputes have far-reaching environmental and socio-economic implications. The court’s verdict will be the final word on the matter, and all three states will have to abide by it.
