Mysuru convention is a show of strength amid Cong infighting: Bommai | Hubballi News
Haveri: Congress’ convention in Mysuru on July 19 is more about masking its internal power struggles rather than showcasing its achievements, said MP Basavaraj Bommai.Speaking to the media in Haveri on Wednesday, he said Congress did not achieve enough to warrant a convention. “Earlier, they planned a show of strength in Hassan under the pretext of a convention of achievements. Now, the same is being done in Mysuru. The fact that the party in-charge already held meetings with ministers shows that things are not right within the party. There is no end to the internal conflicts in Congress. Unless the Congress high command gives clear direction, this unrest will persist. It even seems like the high command itself wants this confusion to continue,” Bommai said. On the Sharavathi Pumped Storage project, Bommai said it is a project that can generate around 2,000 megawatts of electricity at a relatively low cost. “About 38 hectares of forest land will be affected. Forests should be grown in alternative areas, and the surrounding forest must be protected. The project already received conditional approval, and it should proceed in adherence to those conditions,” he said. When asked about the Congress’ allegation that protocol was violated during the inauguration of the Sigandur bridge, the former CM said there was no violation of protocol in any manner.
