Minister N Chaluvarayaswamy launched a scathing attack on Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy, saying he shed blood, not tears, to bring an agriculture university to Mandya. Speaking at a felicitation event, he said Rs 100 crore has been sanctioned for the university, while Kumaraswamy failed to deliver in 20 years of power.
Chaluvarayaswamy also criticised Kumaraswamy over the Cauvery water dispute and the stalled Mekedatu project. Recalling his own record, he said he won from Nagamangala in 1999 and revived the MySugar factory, which recorded 8.75% yield after 20 years. He asserted that drinking water and farmers' needs come before Tamil Nadu's demands.
This spat shows how regional rivals use development projects as political weapons. Both ministers come from the same Vokkaliga belt, yet their public bickering overshadows actual work. The Rs 100 crore sanction for the university is a number, not a building. Voters in Mandya should watch for the first brick, not just the press release.
