Former Minister and BJP MLA C.N. Ashwath Narayan lashed out at the Congress for what he described as ‘’mishandling’’ of the Cauvery issue and accused it of betraying the interests of the State.
Speaking to mediapersons in Mandya on Wednesday, Mr. Ashwath Narayan also accused the Congress of compromising on State’s interests in order to ‘’mollify’’ DMK which is part of the coalition of Opposition parties floated as INDIA.
He said the State government failed to convincingly argue and present the facts and Karnataka’s water crisis before the Cauvery Water Regulatory Committee and the Cauvery Water Management Authority. The Chief Minister called for an all-party meeting after releasing the water though he was advised against releasing any water given the poor storage in the reservoirs, said Mr. Ashwath Narayan.
