Chennai : BJP comes out with protest against opening of dam’s shutters at Mullaperiyar. There is secret pact between the governments of Kerala and Tamil Nadu in this regard, claimed BJP State president in Chennai, K Annamalai. Interestingly, the BJP protest in Tamil Nadu is happening even as its Kerala counterpart demands lowering of reservoir levels.
Tamil Nadu BJP contends that farmers there will be thrown to hardship if water levels of the dam be reduced. Anamalai was speaking at a protest organised in front of Collectorate in Theni.
Kerala lacks rights to open the dam shutters and the Chief Minister AK Stalin, has just rolled out that authority to Kerala. This is part of the secret pact between the two heads of state, accused Anamaiai at the protest meeting.
