Bhubaneswar:(ONT Bureau)11/2/17: Chhattishgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh today said attempts are being made in Odisha to divert public attention from the core issues under the pretext of Mahanadi water dispute.
“People of Odisha wanted answers on growing unemployment, migration, hunger deaths, poor health facilities and others. Unable to reply to the people, attempts are made to raise Mahanadi water issue in order to divert attention,” Singh told a public rally in support of BJP candidates at Lathikata in Sundergarh district.
The Chhattishgarh Chief Minister, who addressed his fifth election rally during his campaigning for BJP candidates in the panchayat polls, claimed that there was no dispute between his state and Odisha over Mahanadi river.
