The Cauvery water dispute will be resolved by mutual understanding between the two states, former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda said in Tamil Nadu's Tiruchirappalli on Thursday.
Stating that the rulers of Tamil Nadu, irrespective of the party they belong to, are aware of the "truth", he said over 1.4 crore people including Tamils in Bengaluru city were suffering due to the drinking water crisis.
"This is not a fact which has to be hidden. The Prime Minister and even the rulers of Tamil Nadu, whichever party they belong to, know very well. This is a fact which has to be ultimately decided by mutual understanding," Mr Gowda told reporters after offering prayers at the renowned Sri Ranganathaswamy temple here.
