Ashok Gehlot demands MoU regarding PKC-ERCP project be made public
- This comes as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to lay the foundation stone for the Modified Parbati-Kalisindh-Chambal-Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (PKC-ERCP) on December 17
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has demanded that the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh governments regarding the Parbati-Kalisindh-Chambal (PKC) and Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP) be made public. This demand comes in light of the upcoming elections, where water issues are pivotal. Gehlot criticized the BJP-led central government for not addressing the water needs of Rajasthan adequately, pointing out that despite the MoU being signed in August, there has been no progress or transparency on the project's implementation. He emphasized the importance of these projects for the development of Eastern Rajasthan and accused the BJP of neglecting the state's interests. The ERCP, in particular, is crucial for providing drinking and irrigation water to 13 districts in Rajasthan.
