According to Polimer News, AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami has criticized the current government regarding its handling of the long-standing Cauvery water dispute. Speaking to reporters in Chennai after paying floral tributes to freedom fighter Dheeran Chinnamalai on his memorial day, Palaniswami alleged that the administration lacks a clear strategy to address the crisis effectively.
Palaniswami emphasized that the government should engage in consultations with senior legal experts to find a viable solution for the Cauvery water-sharing issue and the related Mekedatu dam project. He asserted that previous administrations, whether led by the AIADMK or the DMK, consistently convened all-party meetings to deliberate on such critical matters, suggesting that the current approach is insufficient.
The AIADMK leader further accused the government of failing to protect the legal victories previously secured in the Cauvery dispute. His remarks highlight the ongoing political tension in Tamil Nadu regarding water management and interstate river disputes, as opposition parties continue to pressure the government for more robust action in legal and inter-state forums.
