'Vijay is a courageous leader': DKS after TN CM agrees to defer Cauvery-related Bengaluru visit
Following widespread protests by farmers and political groups across Karnataka, DK Shivakumar requested C Jospeh Vijay to postpone his visit.
DK Shivakumar, the Chief Minister of Karnataka, expressed admiration for D K Vijay, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, after Vijay decided to postpone his scheduled visit to Bengaluru. The postponement came following Shivakumar's request, due to a tense atmosphere in Karnataka caused by farmers opposing the Cauvery Water Management Authority's directive to release water.
This directive requested water release from the Cauvery river to Tamil Nadu for 15 days. The visit was intended to address the dispute over the release of water from the Cauvery river, which has been exacerbated by Karnataka's severe rainfall deficit. Shivakumar emphasized his respect for Vijay, describing him as a courageous leader, despite their political differences.
He appealed to political parties and Kannada organizations to refrain from calling for bandhs, requesting a more cordial environment to resolve the issue and work together for the common good.
