There’s just one day left for the deadline given by the Supreme Court for the formation of the Cauvery Management Board (CMB), and so far, there is no sign to show that the Centre is doing anything in this regard. And as the deadline nears, the ruling AIADMK in Tamil Nadu has decided to take desperate measures to push their case with the BJP-led Centre.
On Wednesday, there was high drama over the issue in Parliament, and comments made by AIADMK MP Navaneethakrishnan in Rajya Sabha were expunged by the chairperson.
Speaking to TNM just minutes after exiting the Rajya Sabha, Navaneethakrishnan said, "I told the Chairman that AIADMK MPs will all commit suicide if the Cauvery Management Board is not formed. I am from Thanjavur and I know how much the people are suffering in Tamil Nadu. I had to make our desperation known.”
