The Sarvodaya Karnataka Paksha said that the blame for absence of a ‘distress formula’ over sharing of Cauvery waters whenever monsoon fails rests squarely at the doorstep of successive governments in Karnataka.
Addressing a press conference in Mysuru on Sunday, September 3, Sarvodaya Karnataka Paksha’s General Secretary Prasanna N. Gowda said the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal, in its final verdict, has clearly given a provision for a distress formula on the basis of rainfall. Yet, successive governments in the State had failed to work out such a ‘distress formula’ to tide over the crises that raises it’s ugly head whenever there is poor rainfall.
He accused the successive governments in Karnataka as well as the Centre of sacrificing the interests of people of the State to protect their political interests.
