Addressing the meeting, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav said the Centre should restrict itself to deciding on the principles of such a framework and leave law making to States.

“While the U.P. government agrees to most of the proposals (in the draft Water Policy), the proposal to create a law on water is a sensitive issue. Water is a state subject according to the Constitution and states have a right to formulate policies keeping in mind their special needs,” he said.

Mr. Yadav’s speech was read out in absentia by State PWD Minister Shivpal Singh Yadav.
