Even if one were to set aside the question of inability (or ability) of governance, all this time, I have always felt that the River Linking saga had political conotations. I am not saying that there shouldn't, but to say or think that political overtones are one-sided is simply not true. China, B'desh, India, states within India, as well as different factions within states all seem to have some political interest with RL. Whats the difference?
