Bengaluru, May 21: Following the lines of previous Karnataka government, JD(S) leader and Chief Minister-designate HD Kumaraswamy expressed reservations about the demand raised by actor-turned-politician Rajinikanth over Cauvery issue.
Speaking to the media the JD((S) leader stated that Karnataka is suffering from the acute water crisis. He further went on saying that Rajinikanth should personally visit affected areas to witness the plight of the farmers. Citing the reason of the poor condition of reservoirs, the former Chief Minister said that the superstar will understand the gravity of the situation.
Earlier, Rajinikanth demanded that new Karnataka government should release the legitimate share of Cauvery water for the people of Tamil Nadu.
