he State government seems to be getting wisdom after committing a bundle of mistakes over the Cauvery water issue and now it was talking to farmers and legal experts.
This work should have been done in the beginning,said former chief minister Basavaraj Bommai.
Talking to reporters here on Friday,he said there was no coordination between the chief minister and the deputy chief minister.
However the lack of coordination between the home minister and top brass of the department had been established.
As the Kannada say,the state has now initiated a legal battle.The work of talking to legal experts should have been done long ago.
At least now, the government must honestly fight the case and see to it that no anti-State orders were issued in the coming days.
The former CM said the government must have held talks with legal luminaries and farmers.It should have consulted a former chief justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Shivraj Patil in regard to land,water and borders of Karnataka.There are other legal experts with whom the government should have held talks.
Release compensation for drought’
It was a tragedy to have such a government when there is drought in the state. Several talks in North Karnataka region are reeling under drought.
But the state government was pointing its fingers towards the Union Government to pay compensation to the affected farmers.
When unprecedented floods ravaged North Karnataka region last, the then BJP Government distributed relief. They have given twice the compensation of the centre. The current government was acting in contrary.
Responding to a question about a person wielding the sword participating in the Id Milad procession in Kolar, Bommai said that things happen depending upon which party was in power.Now there was no fear of goons and troublemakers,and they are free to roam like this.
