TN minister rejects demand for all-party meeting to discuss Cauvery water issue
Tamil Nadu Minister C T R Nirmal Kumar dismissed calls for an all-party meeting to address the ongoing Cauvery water dispute with Karnataka. The DMK, AIADMK, PMK, and VCK have urged such a gathering. Kumar claimed that the DMK President M K Stalin and Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar were conspiring to harm Tamil Nadu's interests.
He accused the opposition parties of supporting a resolution unanimously passed by the Assembly and then filing petitions in the High Court and Supreme Court, causing confusion. Kumar stated that Tamil Nadu requires 17 TMC of water from Karnataka, while the 12,000 cusecs released from the Kabini reservoir was insufficient.
