| Former district-in-charge minister B Ramanath Rai on behalf of District Congress expressed his objection to the proposed Nethravathi Diversion project and demanded the government to immediately drop the plans of the project. |
| In such a scenario the need of the hour is to leave Nethravathi river untouched and give up plans of diversion project at this stage and not to move ahead spending crores of rupees on the study of the project. |
| He proposed that instead of taking up a project like River diversion, which is against the law of nature, it is wise if the government plans a series of vented dams along the river, which will help the agriculture and the growing population of the district. |
