The Tamil Nadu legislative assembly has unanimously passed a government resolution opposing the construction of the Mekedatu dam by Karnataka. The ruling party, the primary opposition party, and other regional political factions have set aside their political differences to unite on this critical state issue. The opposition leader has urged the state's chief minister to organise an all-party delegation to meet the prime minister and submit a formal letter of opposition.
The proposed dam project has been a long-standing point of contention, with concerns that it would severely impact the lower riparian state's water supply, particularly affecting farmers in the delta districts who rely heavily on the Kaveri River for irrigation. The opposition leader emphasised that legal and political measures must be pursued collectively to protect the state's water rights. The assembly proceedings highlighted a rare moment of political unity, as all major parties pledged full support to the state government's efforts to halt the dam construction and safeguard agricultural interests.
