Didi slams UPA, calls Farakka Barrage 'criminal conspiracy'
In her letter, Mamata expressed her disapproval as majority of the water from the barrage goes to Bangladesh.
Calling it 'man-made conspiracy', Mamata urged the centre to stop it.
One day back, Mamata slammed centre over at the NCTC saying, "It is difficult for the state government to accept such arbitrary exercise of power by the Central government... which have a bearing on the rights and privilege of the states as enshrined in the Constitution of India."
"This has not been done in the instant case. The order, therefore, appears to be an infringement on the powers of state governments in matters of investigation and maintenance of order," she wrote in her letter.
According to the agreement signed between the two countries, Bangladesh should get only 35,000 cusecs during the dry season but it was getting 82,801 cusecs as the two gates were broken at the barrage.

but
it
