"It is just a five minute job (for the prime minister). All that he (Modi) needs is make a phone call and tell Parrikar (Goa chief minister) to release 7.56 TMC drinking water," KPCC chief Parameshwara said.
Addressing party workers on the foundation day of the Congress, Parameshwara took a dig at BJP state unit president B S Yeddyurappa for "raking up" the issue only for political gains and not helping the Congress government to find a solution to the row.
While he was speaking, some workers started walking out of the hall.
"What else is expected of you other than your time for the party? We are only doing some service, that's it.There are people who have sacrificed way beyond what we are doing today," the KPCC chief said.
Karnataka, which has locked horns with neighbouring Goa on sharing Mahadayi river water, is seeking release of 7.56 tmcft water for the Kalasa-Banduri Nala project.
