Hogenakkal may be first challenge for Yeddy as CM
The newly elected BJP Government in Karnataka will face its first major crisis in resolving the sensitive Hogenakkal issue with the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Muthuvel Karunanidhi announcing the revival of the controversial drinking water project in the Cauvery basin. The two neighbouring states went on the offensive after the Chief Minister-elect BS Yeddyurappa visited Hogenakkal last March and protested against the implementation of the drinking water project to cater to Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri districts in Tamil Nadu.
