The Indian journalist said there was no reason why India would fail to share water of Teesta river with Bangladesh.

I don't think Teesta issue stems from inability to share by the center. It is a West Bengal State (ergo, CM) issue.

"Didi" is the problem. It'd be political suicide for her. BJP already calls her "Mumtaz Begum" instead of Mamata Banerjee, saying she appeases Muslims too much in her state.

Delhi is able to show more political acumen than we think. They are using Mamata Banerjee as an excuse to deprive Bangladesh of its legitimate share of water of Teesta river.

I think India has successfully kicked China out from the Teesta River Management project by offering her support to implement it. It is also to be noted that by offering support to implement the Teesta Management Project, India has clearly gave a message that there will be no agreement between Bangladesh and India regarding the sharing of Teesta river water.

China, India in tug of war over Teesta project in Bangladesh
Mustafizur Rahman 24 June, 2024, 00:00

Beijing and New Delhi are on a collision course after India's latest proposal to finance the Teesta river restoration and management project when China has already offered both financial and technical support for the same project.

Tension grew between the two countries as the matter was discussed during Sheikh Hasina's bilateral talks with her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi during her June 21–22 visit to New Delhi, her second trip to the country in 15 days.

Hasina earlier visited India on June 9 to attend Modi's oath-taking for the third consecutive term.

A Chinese minister arrived in Dhaka on Saturday on a four-day visit that coincided with Hasina's return from Delhi.

The visiting minister, Liu Jianchao, is scheduled to call on prime minister Hasina today ahead of her planned bilateral visit to China in the second week of July, foreign ministry officials confirmed.

Before Hasina's Delhi visit, India expressed its willingness to support the implementation of the proposed Teesta River Comprehensive Management and Restoration Plan in Bangladesh's north, a strategically important location for India where China has already completed a survey for a $1 billion project.

Indian external affairs secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra conveyed his country's interest during a courtesy call on foreign minister Hasan Mahmud in Dhaka in May.

'India's interest in the Teesta management project conveyed recently has obviously created some tension with China due to the timing of the proposal from New Delhi, as Dhaka has already sought Beijing's support for the development project,' said retired diplomat Munshi Faiz Ahmad, who also served as Bangladesh ambassador to China.

Faiz, also a former chairman of the Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies, told New Age that India's purpose behind the move seemed to counter China on its strategically important location.

Foreign minister Hasan Mahmud on Sunday welcomed India's announcement of sending a technical team to discuss Teesta management.

Terming the planned visit of India's technical team as a positive move, he told reporters that it was needed since Teesta was a big project.

Speaking to reporters at his office, Hasan said that bilateral talks in New Delhi did not discuss anything concerning China over the Teesta project.

Jianchao, minister of the international department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, is also scheduled to hold a meeting with Hasan at the State Guesthouse Padma in the city today, according to officials.

Although nothing specific was announced after the summit about the signing of a water-sharing deal on the common river Teesta, a pressing issue for Bangladesh kept pending for a long by successive Indian governments, Modi on Saturday announced that a technical team would soon visit Bangladesh to discuss 'conservation and management of the Teesta River in Bangladesh.'

'We have decided to start technical level discussions for renewal of the 1996 Ganga Water Treaty. A technical team will soon visit Bangladesh to discuss conservation and management of the Teesta River in Bangladesh,' said Modi in a press statement after the bilateral meeting with Hasina at Hyderabad House.
