By Accusing DMK leader M.
Karunanidhi for giving incorrect instruction on the Cauvery water dispute,
AIADMK MP S.R. Balasubramoniyan on putative that Tamil Nadu has suffered a massive
loss because Karunanidhi rejected the then Karnataka Chief Minister Devaraj offer
to give 265 tmc ft of Cauvery water to its lower riparian neighbour. By Recalling
Mr. Karunanidhi squabble that as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu had withdrawn the
case against Karnataka in the Supreme Court on the advice of the then Prime
Minister Indira Gandhi in 1972, Balasubramoniyan stated that the DMK leader had
conveniently quell the promise made by Devaraj. Subsequent the talks between
the two States due to the intervention of Indra Gandhi led to Devraj making the
promise, adding that but Karunanidhi refused to accept the offer. The AIADMK MP
said the case was resuscitate only in 1983 after the Cauvery Irrigation Farmers
Welfare Association filed a petition in the Supreme Court pursue a direction to
constitute the Cauvery Tribunal. The State government also imp-leaded itself in
the case. The tribunal in its interim order, awarded 205 tmc ft water to Tamil
Nadu. But Karnataka refused to implement it, MP Said.
