Karnataka CM was busy with Cabinet expansion, had no time to meet legal experts on Cauvery issue, says BJP State chief B.Y. Vijayendra
Karnataka BJP chief B.Y. Vijayendra has criticized the state government for failing to manage the Cauvery water crisis effectively. He alleges that the Chief Minister prioritized cabinet expansion over addressing legal challenges regarding water release to Tamil Nadu.
Why it matters
The Cauvery water dispute is a long-standing inter-state conflict that significantly impacts agricultural livelihoods and regional political stability in India.
Even as former chief minister B S Yeddiyurappa urged the government of Karnataka to immediately knock on the doors of the Supreme Court against the ruling by Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) to release 3,500 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu for 15 days, his son and State BJP chief B. Y. Vijayendra took exception to convening of an all-party meeting by Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar to discuss the crisis.
