Rahul Gandhi Opposes Ken-Betwa Project; Manmohan Singh and Modi Governments Support It
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has opposed the Ken-Betwa River Link Project, supporting tribal protests against it and calling their movement a "Satyagraha." He criticized the project for violating tribal rights. However, the project originated under the Congress-led UPA government in 2005, with former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh expressing support for it. The project remained stalled until the Modi government revived it in 2021 by finalizing agreements with Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
