sjr kumar Dec 25, 2011: Persistent efforts by PM to bring Jayalalitha to the negotiation table on the Mullaperiyar issue has utterly failed. Kerala has repeatedly assured TN that they will get uninterrupted supply of water even if the proposed new dam is constructed. Therefore any impartial person would never accept TN's stand off. Even Koodankulam project is also in a stand still. The Koodankulam issue shows the shift of public as well as political response to developmental issues from time to time. Can a country like India afford such midway shifts in long term and high investment projects? Where were these environmental enthusiasts at the time of commencement of the project. Since Kerala is one of the major beneficiaries of the Koodankulam project, we have every legitimate right to see that the project is completed and commissioned, similar to the interest of TN in Mullaperiyar issue being the beneficiary. Therefore in the long term interest of Kerala we should raise our voice in favour of the Koodankulam project, so that the project is completed and we get our legitimate share of electricity from there. It is high time that our Kerala politicians understand that attack is the best form of defence!!!
