Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay has firmly rejected opposition leader Udhayanidhi Stalin's demand for an all-party meeting to discuss Karnataka's proposed Mekedatu Dam and the Cauvery water dispute. Vijay's TVK-led government maintains its resolve to protect Tamil Nadu's rights over the Cauvery waters and has already conveyed this stance to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The CM emphasized that his government would not compromise on its position regarding the river water issue or the Mekedatu dam project. He cautioned against playing politics over the matter and urged the opposition not to engage in such tactics.
