Cauvery row: After SC setback, Karnataka likely to wait for CWMA meeting to make next move
Following the Supreme Court’s refusal to intervene in the Cauvery water sharing dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, the State is now looking at the next window of opportunity to present its case. “While there is little time left to file the review petition, there is feeling that the government also cannot approach the apex court again without releasing some quantum of water,” said a source. Alleging that the government “erred at every step”, he said: “It delayed approaching the Supreme Court, and advice given by Opposition leaders were not considered.” Former Chief Minister and BJP leader Basavaraj Bommai told reporters that the Supreme Court should have considered ground realities before issuing its order. Meeting with Union Minister Earlier in the day, a delegation led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah met Union Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat to impress upon him the ground realities in Karnataka, and the State’s inability to release water since there is not enough storage to maintain needs of drinking water, industrial requirement, besides saving standing crops.
