The Deputy Speaker of the Haryana Assembly and the MLA from Gurgaon, Mr Gopi Chand Gehlot, has repeatedly called upon all the political parties in the state to stand united on the issue of the construction of the Sutlej-Yamuna Link Canal project.
He has especially urged the MLAs to rise above party politics on the SYL canal issue as the project is the lifeline of the state, especially for those living in south Haryana.
Mr Gehlot also said that he hoped that Punjab would show generosity befitting an elder brother and implement the directive of the Supreme Court instead of seeking methods to wriggle out of it.
He said the Haryana Chief Minister, Mr Om Prakash Chautala, was doing "everything possible" to build up a consensus within the state Assembly on the issue.
