Jaipur: Former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot today accused the incumbent Vasundhara Raje of misleading people of the state in the name of connecting Parvarti and Kalisindh rivers with Banas, Gambhir and Parbati.
Mr Gehlot said Ms Raje's direction to prepare detailed project report for connecting these rivers would only waste money.
"Parvati and Kalsindh are interstate rivers which flow into Rajasthan from Madhya Pradesh. There is a dispute on water sharing with Madhya Pradesh which is unsolved. It should be disclosed that whether there was any agreement between the two states for this plan?" Mr Gehlot asked in a statement.
Criticising Ms Raje, Mr Gehlot alleged that she was misleading people on this issue.
Ms Raje while chairing a meeting of the state River Basin and Water Resources Planning Authority yesterday asked the authority to prepare a detailed project report for linking Parvati and Kalisindh with Banas, Gambhir and Parbati.
