Sir, I have to confirm the stats around the 1968 agreement. I will do that. However, you cannot deny past instances when water was released to save crops in TN around october/november timeframe after the monsoon rains stopped. At no time K'taka said that it will only give the excess water. The only plea K'taka made was that during summer it can not fulfil the quota of water despatch due to poor inflow of into Cauvery basin. This is a valid point. But the Tribunal, time and again, ignored this plea and enforced strigent demands of K'taka.
