Morover, every year Karnataka gets more rainfall due to south west monsoon along the western ghats similar to kerala whereas TN is in water shadow region but gets from North east monsoon primarily by cyclones. About 8 years back,the north east monsoon failed and karnataka failed to release even half of the allocated water, farmers were at the verge of collapse as all the three types of paddy crops destryed due to severe drought. TN Govt again came to the rescue by waiving all the loans provided by Tamilnadu Cooperative societies. The good thing is that TN farmers never borrow money from money lenders and hence survive even during acute crisis.

Most of the people of India are ignorant about the geography of south India and think everyone as 'Madrasi'. The water war between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka has been a long standing problem which the Congress Governments over a period have never bothered to solve. I thank you for ighlighting the problems of the people of Tamil Nadu who have been deprived of their legitimate share of water all these years.Congress depends on the votes of Tamil Naduz to form a govt. in the centre. People of Tamil Nadu should unite together and not vote for congress in the next election to teach a lesson
