I do have some concerns about the eco-logical natural aspect of this project. But if the outcome is profitable than the costs, I'm all for it. Now keeping this aside what is the political problem for these last few states? <!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Well these states are basically ruled either by Congress, or non-NDA, or left parties.
Even if everyone in these states would have been offered a BMW with nice apartment in some richest block of the world, we will still be seeing issues with these states, cos they r totally governed on HATE-BJP theme.
For Punjab, Himachal etc, their excuse is going to be, why we shud be giving our water, even though we have too much of it, still WHY!
Cos even if they come to some term to sell out the excess water, it will be considered as victory for BJP/NDA in a state where we had limited water resources. And than you can imagine the vote shift from which party to which party, and which party may end up being uproot from that state.
For. i.e.
Lets take Karnatka under congress rule. and TN under Amma's.
Lets suppose Amma manage to get all the water she needs from Karnatka, who the general public going to support in next election? Amma as she got them the much needed water. Who will be cornered? congress+DMK etc who are against Amma.
so there..is more of a dirty politics around in this river linking than anything else.
