There is drought like situation in four states. The Cauvery River Authority (CRA) direction to the State government to release 9,000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu is not right. Prime Minister has taken a unilateral decision.
“The Centre should send a team to Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to assess the available quantity of water,” he said.
The four ministers representing the State in the Centre should have impressed upon Prime Minister on the drought situation in Karnataka.
