Tamil Nadu BJP and the Tamil Maanila Congress (TMC) on Friday accused Chief Minister M.K. Stalin of adopting a lethargic attitude towards the Cauvery issue because of his party’s alliance with the Congress, which is the ruling party in Karnataka.
Reacting to Mr. Stalin’s letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to instruct the Karnataka government to release Tamil Nadu’s share of Cauvery water, BJP State president K. Annamalai said this was the reality of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), of which the DMK and the Congress are a part. He said the DMK was reaching out to Mr. Modi to complain about its alliance partners.
“The grim scenario faced by the farmers today [in Tamil Nadu] has much to do with the corrupt DMK government’s pledging of the interests of the people of TN for their political gains,” he alleged in a social media post.
