Karnataka’s decision to go in for an appeal in the Cauvery water issue was of no concern as Tamil Nadu will get its due share since the Supreme Court had clearly specified there was no provision to move the court again, Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami said on Saturday.

He was responding to a question from reporters in Salem district on the decision taken in the all-party meeting in Karnataka to appeal in the top court against setting up of Cauvery Water Management Authority and Cauvery Water Regulation Committee.

“Tamil Nadu will get its due share of water, following constitution of the Authority and there is no cause for concern,” Palanisamy said. The Centre will see to it that Tamil Nadu gets its due share at the meeting of the Authority scheduled on July 2, he said.

Meanwhile, Leader of Opposition MK Stalin condemned the Karnatka government for adopting the same confrontational approach of the previous Siddaramaiah regime on the Cauvery row and urged Palaniswami to convene an all-party meeting to discuss the “extraordinary situation”.
