Karnataka’s remarks on T.N.’s water situation are baseless and unacceptable, says Stalin

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Saturday said the recent statements by the Karnataka government, terming Tamil Nadu’s demand for Cauvery water as unjustified and alleging that the State had increased its ayacut area, were baseless and unacceptable.

He blamed the Karnataka government of providing wrong information in its letter to Union Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on Wednesday. It had stated that the Cauvery delta region in Tamil Nadu had adequate groundwater, and the State would receive enough rainfall during the northeast monsoon.

Mr. Stalin said Tamil Nadu’s Minister for Water Resources Duraimurugan, accompanied by MPs from all political parties in the State, would submit a memorandum to Mr. Shekhawat asking the Union government to not take into consideration the untrue statements made by the Karnataka government.
