Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday accused the Opposition parties of politicising the Cauvery dispute for their electoral gains.
Responding to reporters queries on the Bengaluru bandh at Mysuru airport on Tuesday, Mr. Siddaramaiah said it was most unfortunate that the Opposition parties were politicising the Cauvery dispute.
He described the support of the Opposition parties to the bandh as part of their “politics”. “It is not out of concern for the people or the State”, he said before claiming that politicising the Cauvery issue was not in the interest of the State.
