Interlinking project has been discussed for the past 30 years. Bangladesh took no interest in taking part in the discussions. Bangladesh only woke up to it when India finally decided to go ahead with the interlinking project. In spite of that the Water Resources Minister has said that discussions will be held with Bangladeshi counterpart and come up with an agreement. Also saying that "negotiating in bad faith" after the groundwork has been laid is BS. The first interlink project has nothing to do with Bangladesh. The Water Resources Minister clearly stated: "We are going ahead with five links [of the rivers] now and the first one, the Ken-Betwa link [in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh] is going to start any time now,". The Ken-Betwa Link is no where close to Bangladesh and it has nothing to do with the Brahmaputra river.
