When all states are having new generation leaders as CMs, Tamil Nadu still has this old shagger repeating every 5 year. Tamil Nadu has antagonised all neighbouring states with its greed for water without showing the courtesy of respecting the donor's needs and anxieties. The dilapidated Mullaperiyar dam in Kerala is the latest example of TN obdurance, where it is banking on a court order to raise the height of the dam. The 100 yr old cracking dam fearing colapse, will wash away 5 million keralites in 5 districts.

This is very worst and foolish comment, the adjoining state people with TN are behave like mind less. Specially Kerala is so selfish, that thing already proven in Salem & Palakad Railway division. They want to get benifits from TN and they don't want to spend anything for TN. Even Karnataka is not following the SC order and Cauvery Tribunal Order, they are not following the rules.

Tamil nadu speaking about respecting court verdict!!. Remember the Tamil Nadu Bandh when he even went against the courts? or the Reservation issues? or the Ban on Jallikattu? Every political thug protested and had their own way. Tamil Nadu will always face water shortage. It should accept this and change its water consumption patterns for crops as well as drinking water instead of fighting with Kerala over Mulla Periyar, Karnataka over Cauvery and the Hogennekal falls and of course Andhra Pradesh from whom it regulary begs and borrows Krishna water! How many CASH CROPS which are very WATER INTENSIVE are cultivated in Tamil Nadu!But their politicians are busy pandering to vote banks instead of finding solutions and Tamils will bear the brunt of nature's fury.

Reservation issues, Jallikkattu ban are different, it's the interstate issue and this issue between two states, remember the Railway exams and issues happend at Karnataka. Mulla Periyar and Hogennekal are the part of TN. Remember the Karnataka history. In future Keralites and Kannadigas may said that Chennai is the part of their state. Its purely political stunt.

Karnataka and Kerala have done a great service to Tamilnadu by denying water for agriculture and shifting people to other professions.Have you ever heard farmers suicide from Tamilnadu?
