Karnataka Legislative Council on Friday Sep 23,2016 has unanimously passed a one-line resolution empowering the Chief Minister to limit the use of Cauvery water for drinking water supply, thus setting the stage for a constitutional confrontation with the Supreme Court of India(SCI)
Limiting Cauvery water left in Karnataka dams only for drinking water translates to saying a polite
“No” to a latest apex court order directing release of 6,000 cusecs of additional water to Tamil Nadu.
The resolution moved by the Opposition BJP was supported by JDS and ruling Congress.
The same resolution was moved in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly and was being discussed in the House in the afternoon.
