Stating that Karnataka will not release Cauvery water, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah urged members of Parliament from the State to put aside politics and speak together as one voice, even as Deputy CM D. K. Shivakumar said that the State will approach the Supreme Court.
“There is no question of releasing water. We have no water to spare. Put aside party politics and stand together as one with regard to protecting our State, language, water, land and culture,” the Chief Minister told Union Ministers and MPs from the State at a meeting in Delhi on September 20. “The situation has turned critical, and there is no distress formula in place,” he added.
