Cauvery: BJP warns against water release to ‘appease’ alliance partner TVK

The HinduIndependentConservative4 hr. ago

The Cauvery Water Regulation Committee has mandated Karnataka to release 3,500 cusecs of water daily to Tamil Nadu for 15 days. This directive has created tension within Karnataka's Congress government, particularly with the opposition BJP, which opposes the release. BJP leader R. Ashok criticized the government for allegedly prioritizing the interests of the Tamil Nadu government (TVK), a partner in the INDIA alliance, over those of Karnataka. He warned that the public might protest if the state complies with the order. The BJP claims the government has ignored their calls to prepare a strong case to challenge the decision before the Cauvery Water Management Authority.
