Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) led by its State president Mukhyamantri Chandru joined the protest by the Federation of Karnataka Farmers’ Associations against release of water from Kabini reservoir in Mysuru to Tamil Nadu on Wednesday.
A meeting of activists from the AAP and the farmers’ outfit led by its president Kurubur Shanthakumar at Kuvempu Park near Gun House circle earlier in the day resolved to condemn the State government’s decision to “betray” the trust of State’s farmers by releasing water to Tamil Nadu at a time when there was insufficient storage in the reservoirs.
