Cauvery Row Boils Over: BJP, Farmers Protest Water Release To Tamil Nadu
The Cauvery water dispute has sparked fresh political tensions in Karnataka, with BJP leaders led by B.S. Yediyurappa and B.Y. Vijayendra joining farmers in a protest at the KRS Dam against the CWRC's order to release 3,500 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu. The BJP has urged the state government to challenge the directive in the Supreme Court, while Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar maintains that reservoir levels are running low.
