New Delhi, May 7 (IBNS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi met the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav on Saturrday to discuss about the drought situation in Bundelkhand while a water-carrying train waits at Jhansi railway station, according to media reports.
The Uttar Pradesh government reiterated its stand that the state does not need water trains but tankers that can carry water from the reservoirs to the villages.
 
Yadav said that Bundelkhand has enough water in dams, which has to be routed to the parched villages.
 
Following the meeting, tweeted Modi, "Had a productive meeting with UP CM @yadavakhilesh on the drought situation in various parts of UP. The various drought mitigation measures undertaken in the state were discussed extensively in the meeting."
 
Yadav too tweeted saying, "Meeting with @narendramodi was a very positive one. We focused on the right solutions for the drought situation."
