the primary question is, did you use the river for your own irrigation or not? If you did, why cant India?
About Mamta stopping the deal, thats how it works in India(ask lankans), and her concerns should be taken on board before any step. New delhi cant and should not force kolkata.
when Mamata objected that deal many members including Indians dissatisfied with that decision. but I think what she did is better for our own good.why give BD more waters when our own state suffers.India always ended up in the looser side of an water sharing treaty.we gave up 80% of Indus water to Pakistan and we're getting only 20%.but still Pakistan is grumpy on that and they even dragged us to the International court.same goes for Ganga water sharing Treaty with Bangladesh.and why always we've to make a treaty for every transnational river??There are 57 transnational river basins in Asia. Only four of them have treaties covering water sharing; and two of these were signed by India.while other countries are protecting their own water,we're generously(foolishly) giving them away with ultragenerous treaties.and never our neighbours showed any friendly steps to earn that generosity.I just want to take a leaf out of China's books who doesn't have a single treaty with all the neighbours on this matter.
