There! You just did it! (characterize my question - my not being able to
master/pay attention. In other words, not agree to the point - the way you
think!) :)

I may have done flip-flopping on certain matters, but I am with the President
on this one.

Well, Alpana, I won't attempt to characterize your question .
However , the reason I asked the question has to be viewed in the CONTEXT of
the PREMISE of riverlinking, one the president so ardently advocates and which
is supposedly based on relieving the 'flood-prone ' areas of their 'excess'
water.
For your question to have any merit, you need to have a little understanding of
the folly of the 'riverlinking' proposal and the logistics of its execution and
relate that to the logistics of relieving Gujarat
of ITS 'excess' water.
What you missed here altogether is the IRONY of the concept of EXCESS WATER
redistribution. But it is not a hard one to master. All you need to do is pay
attention to the discussions in forums like Waterwatch, or even assamnet. It
is obvious you have not been :-)

Hi C'da: And at the risk of being called 'one with a simplistic mind view', I
would like to say, as long as that state can get rid of the excess water and
not hit by the perennial flood problem, who cares who gets the extra water? Or,
is it like, 'nije-u nakhao oinoku nidiu' and thus have the 'dog in the manger'
policy, though involuntarily?

At the risk of being charged with insensitivity to the plight of these flood
victims, one cannot help wondering, IF, there will now be a presidential
plan/canal /aqueduct to take flood waters out of
Gujarat to someplace where it might be more needed,like Tamilnadu ? Shall we
say by 2020?
