Jayalalithaa criticises Congress on Cauvery issue

Special Correspondent

CHENNAI: All-India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam general secretary Jayalalithaa has accused the Congress and the Communist parties of adopting a "non-committal approach" on the Cauvery issue.

In a statement here, she said the Congress had not taken a firm stand on the issue as it had a base in Karnataka.

The Pattali Makkal Katchi, an electoral ally of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, had also pointed out that the final award of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal would result in Tamil Nadu getting less than 205 tmcft water, as allocated in the interim award, she said.

Ms. Jayalalithaa reiterated her demand that the award should be notified in the gazette as per the Inter-State Water Disputes Act, 1956. She also urged the State Government to be keen on moving the Supreme Court to get more water.
