Modi's river-linking plans extremely dangerous, says Maneka Gandhi

Terming the ambitious river-linking plans of BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi as 'extremely dangerous', party MP Maneka Gandhi has said it was she who had stopped former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee from going ahead with it.
The idea of inter-linking of rivers was floated during the NDA government headed by Vajpayee.
Replying to a question on linking river Gomti with Sharda at an event here last night, Gandhi, who is sitting MP from Aonla, said "I had stopped Atalji from this rubbish (Maine hi Atalji ko roka tha is bakwaas se). Such plans are nothing but rubbish."
