Why is Tamil Nadu against a ‘NEW’ Dam?

A Tamil Nadu lunatic warns of disastrous consequences if Kerala builds a new dam. Where is this going?

Civil War?

I read from THE HINDU that Mr Vaiko (general secretary of MDMK), as a part of his campaign in Karumathur Tamil Nadu alleged the Kerala government of using explosives to weaken the dam.

I am amazed at how some politician can make such absurd baseless remarks with no proof or evidence at all. We should also keep in mind that any damage to the dam would be disastrous and would claim the lives of many hundreds of people and also destroy the ecosystem of the surrounding areas.

I believe that a new dam is indisputable given its fragility at present. The dam is extremely necessary for both Kerala and Tamil Nadu. This ignorance according to me is only going to lead to a disaster when the dam finally gives in.

I ask the self righteous politicians to think before they act. I ask them to think more than the seats they're going to win. Think of the people they're supposed to be serving.

Pretty sad state of politics, I'd say..
