No point releasing water to another state when Karnataka faces shortage: Union minister V Somanna
Union minister V Somanna said Karnataka faces a severe water shortage, making it pointless to release water to another state.
An all-party meeting called by Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar will decide the state's next steps on the Cauvery issue.
Somanna stressed that any decision must comply with Supreme Court directions and the constitutional framework.
He praised DK Shivakumar's initiative for state development, noting cooperation between the Centre and Karnataka.
