Sachitadananda Kuragunda,DH News Service,Chitradurga:
Chitradurga district is known for its heat and dust. In the last 100 years the district has suffered famine more than 50 times. Naturally, water is a political issue here. Every politician makes it a point to take an oath by Bhagiratha to get water to the district. In the current election too, water plays an important role.
