No basis for Karnataka’s plea, he says
PMK founder S. Ramadoss on Sunday said Tamil Nadu should not start a dialogue with Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa over the issue of building a check-dam across Cauvery river in Mekedatu. The government should instead try to push for speedy resolution of the case pending in the Supreme Court. In a statement, Dr. Ramadoss said the government should not fall into the trap of dialogue called for by the Karnataka Chief Minister. “There is no basis for Karnataka’s request that Tamil Nadu must support its wish to build a dam in Mekedatu,” he said.
