Mangalore, Feb 21: Dinesh Holla, an environmentalist and member of Sahyadri Samrakshana Sanchaya said that despite of staging several protest, Dr. Veerappa Moily is playing a game in the lives of Dakshina Kannada people by supporting the Netravati River diversion project.
Speaking at the press meet held at Press Club on Feb 21, Friday he said that former chief minister DV Sadananda Gowda had initiated the Netravati River diversion project, hence now he is hesitating to contest for the upcoming elections from Dakshina Kannada, since he is sure to lose because of his project plan.
