While addressing an election meeting in Haryana's Charki Dadri, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that India would not allow its water to flow to Pakistan. At the same time, he said he was happy the Kartarpur corridor project is about to be completed.

Charki Dadri:Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said India would not allow its water to flow to Pakistan.

At the same time, he said he was happy the Kartarpur corridor project, linking India with the historic Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara, where Guru Nanak Dev breathed his last in Pakistan, is about to be completed.

"For 70 years, the water which belongs to India and the farmers of Haryana flowed to Pakistan. Modi will stop this water (from flowing into Pakistan) and bring it to your houses," the Prime Minister said in an election meeting, the second in two days, in Charki Dadri in Haryana.

He said the farmers of Haryana and Rajasthan have the rights over the water that is flowing to Pakistan and was not being stopped by earlier Indian governments.

Elections to the 90-member Haryana Assembly will be held on October 21 along with 288-member Maharashtra Assembly. The counting of votes is on October 24.
