The first two days of Karnataka winter session of legislature to be held at Suvarna Vidhana Soudha here should be reserved for debate on the Kalasa Bhanduri-Mahadayi issue, former minister and Janata Dal(S) MLC Basavraj Horatti said here today.
Speaking to reporters, he said he had sent letters to the presiding officers of both houses a fortnight ago on reserving the first two days for the issue, apart from making a similar demand in a letter to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. But unfortunately none has communicated back.
Both BJP and Congress are playingwith the farmers and people of this region, he alleged.
