Responding to Karnataka chief minister B S Yediyurappas letter urging not to oppose the Mekedatu dam project, Nadu chief minister M K Stalin reiterated that the project was against the interests of Tamil Nadus farmers and requested him not to pursue the project.
The view that Mekedatu dam will not affect the interests of Tamil Nadu cannot be agreed upon as it would hinder the flow of water from catchments areas below Kabini and Krishnarajasagar da, Stalin told Yeddiyurappa.
