Coimbatore: The BJP has blamed the DMK government and its ally Congress, governing neighbouring Karnataka for the worsening Cauvery water sharing row.
BJP’s national women’s wing president Vanathi Srinivasan said in a statement posted on Twitter on Saturday that the DMK government should speak to its ally Congress, which is governing Karnataka to ensure water is released immediately. She warned that if water was not released, separatist forces would gain currency and there would be a threat to public peace and safety.
Vanathi said when BJP was ruling Karnataka, it was releasing Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu regularly as per the Cauvery tribunal and the Supreme Court order. “Within a few months after Congress coming to power in Karnataka, however, the Cauvery water row has resurfaced,” she said.
Despite DMK holding a key position in the INDIA bloc, farmers of Tamil Nadu are unable to get water, she said. She alleged that the Congress government in Karnataka was inciting Pro-Kannada organisations to protest against the releasing of water. And, chief minister M K Stalin was focussed more on politics and the growth of his son Udhayanidhi Stalin, she alleged.

Relief for Karnataka as panel cuts Cauvery water release volume
Amidst the bandh in Bengaluru over the Cauvery water-sharing dispute, the Cauvery Water Regulatory Committee (CWRC) has recommended the release of 3,000 cusecs of water per day to Tamil Nadu for 18 days, much less than the demanded 12,500 cusecs. The Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) will make the final decision on the recommendation. Karnataka is expected to push for further reduction in water sharing with Tamil Nadu, and CM Siddaramaiah will consult legal experts for the next steps.

Cauvery water row: CM Siddaramaiah should talk to Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin, says BJP
Pressure is mounting on Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to initiate talks with his Tamil Nadu counterpart MK Stalin to resolve the Cauvery river water dispute. Opposition parties and farmer associations are demanding discussions to persuade Tamil Nadu not to press for the release of more water. However, Siddaramaiah and his cabinet colleagues have dismissed the suggestion, insisting that only Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intervention can help break the deadlock. They argue that in the past, the Prime Minister has intervened and ensured talks were held when faced with a similar situation.

Tamil Nadu: Trichy farmers protest over Cauvery water dispute with Karnataka
Farmers in Trichy, Tamil Nadu, staged a protest demanding the release of Cauvery River water from Karnataka. In response, farmers in Karnataka’s Mandya are protesting to stop water from being released to Tamil Nadu. The Cauvery Water Management Authority had ordered Karnataka to release 5000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu for 15 days, which led to ongoing protests. The court refused to interfere in the dispute and declined Tamil Nadu’s request to increase its share of water. Tamil Nadu claims that Karnataka has released less water than agreed upon.
