BJP candidate from Dharwad Lok Sabha Constituency Pralhad Joshi, who is seeking a fourth term, has said that there is more politics than water in the Mahadayi river water sharing row. Speaking at a “Meet The Press” programme organised by the Dharwad District Union of Working Journalists here on Friday, Mr. Joshi said that much had been said on the Mahadayi issue and now the talk was about getting a gazette notification on the verdict of Mahadayi Water Disputes Tribunal. Giving a list of his achievements as a Member of Parliament, Mr. Joshi said that under the Modi government, Dharwad had got Indian Institute of Technology, regional office of Khadi and Village Industries Corporation and others. As I seek votes for my performance, I also seek votes for Mr. Modi,” he said. In the Hubballi-Ankola railway line project too, lethargy of the State government resulted in a new hurdle for the project, he said.
