BJP urges Nepal govt to let water flow into UP, Bihar
Kantipur Report
KATHMANDU, June 23 - One of India’s main political parties on Monday requested Nepal to allow the water of the Gandaki River to flow through India’s Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Bihar for irrigation purposes.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) drew the attention of India’s central government to the problem stating that some lands in UP and Bihar have gone dry since the Nepal government has stopped the water flow.
Land cultivation in UP and Bihar has been affected since the water flow has been blocked, Chairman of BJP’s UP division Ramapati Ram Tripathi told reporters in Lucknow today.
The BJP leader claimed that the central government of India has disregarded Nepal’s welfare due to pressure from leftist parties.
