New Delhi: The government of India strongly favours resolution of Teesta water share issue with Bangladesh but no feasible solution is possible without taking the West Bengal government, a key stake holder, on board, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said here on Monday.
"No resolution on Teesta is possible without taking all stake holders on board.
The solution cannot be achieved merely by the two central governments - the Government of India and the Government of Bangladesh.
West Bengal government is a key stake holder and therefore we try to talk to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on this," Ms Swaraj told reporters here.
In 2017 when Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was in India, Ms Banerjee had offered an alternative formula wherein water can be supplied to Bangladesh from three other rivers and not from Teesta, she said.
