Alagiri wants BJP chief to withdraw comment on Cauvery water

Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president KS Alagiri on Monday asked state BJP president L Murugan to withdraw his comments against use of Cauvery water by TN or face dire consequences.

Condemning Murugan for his recent remark that Karnataka was releasing water properly and only Tamil Nadu was wasting it, Alagiri said, “I would like to caution that he (Murugan) might have to face dire consequences if he does not withdraw the statement made against the livelihood of Tamil Nadu people.”

Stating that there was no chance of Cauvery water being wasted in Tamil Nadu in the 60 days since the DMK returned to power as the water released from Mettur dam has reached tail end districts only now, the TNCC chief said the allegation of the BJP president would only apply to the 10-year AIADMK regime and not the DMK regime which has not even completed 60 days.
