Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Tuesday once again asserted that the state has got every right to implement the Mekedatu project across river Cauvery and will start the work, despite objections from neighboring Tamil Nadu. He held discussions with Union Jalshakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and sought clearances from the Centre for implementing Mekedatu and other irrigation projects in the state.

"I don't want to discuss Tamil Nadu or any other state," Yediyurappa said in response to a question on Tamil Nadu's objection to the Mekedatu project. Speaking to reporters after the meeting with the union minister, he said detailed discussions took place regarding the irrigation projects in the state including the Mekedatu project.

Shekhawat has assured us of resolving all issues: Yediyurappa

"Definitely in the coming days, we're going to complete all the projects and he (union minister) is going to help from the Centre. He has assured us to resolve all issues regarding providing clearances from the Centre for the implementation of the projects," Yediyurappa added.
