May go on hunger strike if Karnataka, TN fight over Cauvery: Uma

September 29, 2016 19:47

Union minister Uma Bharti today appealed for peace between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu on Cauvery water issue and said she may go on hunger strike on the border of the two riparian states if there is any report of fight

between them.

A meeting convened by the Centre today to iron out the differences between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka on the impasse, failed to achieve any breakthrough.

Talking to mediapersons after chairing the meeting, she said "no problem should prevail there" over water sharing as long as Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister and she is the Union Water Resources Minister.

No solution could be arrived at the meeting as Tamil Nadu did not accept Karnataka's proposal for sending a central expert team to assess availability of water in Cauvery basin.
