We couldn't independently confirm this verdict against a government order or an established news source. This assessment is provisional — read it with caution.
Help us verify“Rs 500 crore will be allocated in the first cabinet meeting [for the Mahadayi project].”
Promise to allocate Rs 500 crore for the Mahadayi project in the very first cabinet meeting (a specific, time-bound pre-poll commitment). There is no record in approved sources of such an allocation being made in the new government's first cabinet meeting, and the Mahadayi project has remained stalled on central clearances. This time-bound commitment appears unmet but lacks an explicit approved confirmation of non-allocation; status pending (a candidate for a broken verdict once an approved source confirms).
To provide Rs 1000 crores for cleaning all important rivers in Karnataka (Kali, Bedthi, Krishna, Tungabhadra, Malaprabha, Bhima, Cauvery, Kabini, Shimsha, Arkavathi, Yagachi, Kumaradhara and Nethravathi Rivers) over a period of 5 years.
To undertake desilting of Thungabadra Dam on priority to ensure the 200 TMC of storage is not lost and additional area of agricultural area is brought under irrigation.
Action will be taken to obtain necessary clearances from the Union Government: 100% of the Mahadayi water allocated to Karnataka will be utilised; all the components of Mahadayi river diversion projects shall be completed in the next 5 years with a total outlay of Rs 3000 Cr; priority will be given to drinking water, agriculture, and then to electricity generation; responsible and secure rehabilitation of project affected families; latest state-of-the-art technology for the construction of Kalasa and Banduri dams.
