Palaniswami promises to implement Cauvery rejuvenation project

Leader of the Opposition and AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Saturday assured that the Nadanthai Vazhi Cauvery (Cauvery rejuvenation project) will be implemented once the party is voted to power.

Addressing an election rally along with the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) general secretary, T.T.V .Dhinakaran in Thanjavur, he accused the DMK government of putting on hold a project that had obtained in-principle approval from Central government after being proposed by his AIADMK regime. “After repeated representations in the Assembly, during which time the Centre had also allocated ₹11,600 crore for the project’s implementation, the DMK government included it in a policy note but did not implement it,” he charged.
