Karnataka may have suffered a bit of injustice in Kaveri case, but in Krishna river case it was the major beneficiary.
Krishna river originates in Maharashtra, 1.more people depend on it in M'rashta than in K'taka. 2.more agricultural land under cultivation in M'rashta than in K'taka. 3.more money spent by M'rashta than K'taka in building dams and water conservation.
yet K'taka got double the water as compared to M'rashtra. A weak congress goverment in M'rashtra chose not to oppose.
