We are working to convince the Cauvery Water Management Committee that there is no water in the Cauvery River. minister Cheluvarayaswamy said that is why we did not release water on Wednesday. congress minister and mp sumalatha Ambareesh made accusations and counter-accusations as the all-party meeting ended regarding the order of the Cauvery Water Management Committee regarding the release of Cauvery water to tamil Nadu. Responding to the media after the meeting, mp sumalatha said that the district in-charge minister has not come forward to know the current situation of the Cauvery reservoirs. He complained that till now he has not visited KRS and reviewed the situation there. deputy chief minister D.K. Sivakumar and Mandya-in-charge minister Cheluvarayaswamy said, "Don't just make a political statement."
MP sumalatha said, "There was a discussion in the all-party meeting that farmers should not be treated unfairly. When it rains, we just release water. When it doesn't rain, we ask for drought relief. It is not easy to release 5,000 cusecs of water in the current situation. No one should play politics on the issue of water. Our argument is that water should not be released to tamil Nadu." He said.
There is always an issue between karnataka and tamil Nadu regarding Cauvery issue. tamil Nadu people are aggressive on every issue. Be careful about that. If the prime minister could have intervened and resolved the issue, Ambarish would not have had to resign as Union minister earlier. He alleged that the problem has arisen because the government has failed to explain the facts to the competent authorities.
Minister's reply:
Deputy chief minister D.K. Shivakumar expressed his anger and said that politics should not be done in the issue of Cauvery river water and in protecting the interests of the farmers of the state. The government is taking all measures. He says that he has not visited KRS. I was allowed to come and sleep there. However, he retorted that my first priority is to solve the problem. minister Cheluvarayaswamy said that we are working to convince the Cauvery Water Management Committee that there is no water in the Cauvery River. That is why we did not release water on Wednesday, he said. Responding to Sumalatha's allegation that KRS has not visited the reservoir, she is the mp of our district. He is looking at the KRS situation, isn't he? Therefore, let them contact the central government and inform them about the situation in the state.
Speaking to reporters after the all-party meeting, bjp mp Pratap Sinha said, "I have conveyed our party's opinion in the all-party meeting. Whatever decision the government takes to release 5 thousand cusecs of water to tamil Nadu, we will support it. However, we have told you not to respect the Cauvery Water Management Committee. He said that we have expressed our opposition to the instruction given by the committee.
