Dhinakaran slams CM Vijay's inaction on Cauvery water row

AIADMK general secretary TTV Dhinakaran has accused Chief Minister M.K. Stalin of remaining silent on the contentious Cauvery river water-sharing dispute with Karnataka, raising fresh questions about the state government's handling of the inter-state issue.

Dhinakaran claimed that the Tamil Nadu administration has not taken adequate steps to protect the state's interests in the long-standing water conflict. He contended that the CM's approach lacks the assertiveness required to ensure Tamil Nadu secures its rightful share of Cauvery waters.

The Cauvery water dispute has remained a major flashpoint between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka for decades. The controversy stems from disagreements over how the river's waters should be distributed between the two states, with periodic escalations drawing political attention and public concern.

The opposition leader's remarks come as the state continues to face water management challenges. Political observers note that the Cauvery issue remains sensitive in Tamil Nadu, with successive governments facing pressure to demonstrate commitment to securing adequate water allocation for agricultural and domestic needs.

The state government has not yet responded to Dhinakaran's allegations regarding its handling of the inter-state water dispute.
