Tamil Nadu Government Issues Compensation Orders for Delta Farmers

Tamil Nadu Government Issues Compensation Orders for Delta Farmers:

Chief Minister M K Stalin has declared compensation of Rs 13,500 per hectare for Kuruvai paddy crops that have withered in the delta region this season due to the River Cauvery’s water scarcity.

An official press release issued on Thursday explained that Kuruvai cultivation in the Cauvery delta commenced after the Chief Minister initiated water release from the Mettur dam on June 12, ahead of the usual schedule.

Unfortunately, the Cauvery’s water levels were depleted when the Karnataka government failed to honor its commitment to supply water to Tamil Nadu.

The press release further noted that more than 40,000 hectares of paddy crops have been adversely affected by the water shortage.

Despite the State government’s persistent efforts to secure its rightful share of Cauvery water through forums such as the Cauvery River Water Authority, the Supreme Court, and the Union Water Resources Ministry, Karnataka remained steadfast in its refusal to release water, citing scarcity as the rationale.

Priyanka Questions Delayed Implementation of Women’s Quota Bill

Priyanka Questions Delayed Implementation of Women’s Quota Bill:

On Thursday, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra expressed her criticism of the BJP-led Union government, stating that the recently passed legislation reserving seats for women in legislatures cannot be put into effect for a decade.

Addressing a rally in Mohankheda, Dhar district, which is gearing up for elections in Madhya Pradesh, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra questioned the government’s timing in introducing the bill when the women’s quota couldn’t be implemented right away.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra expressed her disappointment, stating that the women’s reservation bill was introduced by the BJP-led Union government, with the support of all Opposition parties. However, the revelation that it wouldn’t be enforced for a decade and would be preceded by a census left her questioning the purpose of this announcement, feeling that it undermined the importance of Female representation.

The Congress leader pointed out that the government must conduct the delimitation exercise before enforcing the new Act, which reserves 33 percent of seats for females in the Lok Sabha and state legislatures, and this process will span a decade.

Gandhi further questioned why a caste census is not being conducted if everyone truly has equal rights. She highlighted the Bihar caste census, which revealed that 84 percent of the population comprises OBCs and Dalits, yet these communities are not adequately represented in government positions. When asked about this issue, the BJP remains silent, according to Gandhi.

Karnataka Requests Review of Cauvery Body’s Order in Petition

Karnataka Requests Review of Cauvery Body’s Order in Petition:

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar announced that the state has submitted a petition to the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) requesting a review of its directive regarding water release to Tamil Nadu. He also stated that preparations are underway for constructing the Mekedatu balancing reservoir on the river.

Despite recent rainfall in some areas, Shivakumar emphasized the water scarcity in Cauvery basin reservoirs. He mentioned the government’s efforts to safeguard standing crops and expressed hope for more rain in the coming days.

The state has appealed to the CWMA, expressing its inability to release even 3,000 cusecs of water. Regarding the Mekedatu project, he assured me that legal preparations are being made.

When asked about the possibility of approaching the Supreme Court, Shivakumar indicated a step-by-step approach, emphasizing the need for careful consideration.

Regarding the formulation of a distress water-sharing formula during deficit rainfall years, he suggested addressing the issue after the current year.

The CWMA had previously directed Karnataka to release 3,000 cusecs of water daily to Tamil Nadu until October 15, despite Karnataka’s claims of inadequate reservoir storage.

Shivakumar reiterated that the Mekedatu balancing reservoir is the state’s preferred solution to resolve inter-state water disputes during periods of water scarcity. However, Tamil Nadu opposes the project, citing concerns for its interests and those of its farmers.

Shivakumar noted the current water deficit, with 106 tmc of water required and only 56 tmc available in Cauvery basin reservoirs. While there was an increase in inflow due to recent rainfall, it has since decreased.

He highlighted the protection of standing crops thanks to the available water, considering the drought declaration. The state has advised against fresh crop planting until sufficient water availability is confirmed, with expectations of further rain next month guiding future decisions.

BRS Criticizes Modi Amidst Rising Indignation:

The BRS, filled with anger over Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s recent statements regarding his conversations with Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, launched a scathing attack on Modi and the BJP. Several BRS leaders criticized Modi, and the party’s members used social media platforms to express their displeasure.

Although Party leaders downplayed Modi’s remarks, they seemed genuinely concerned about how his message was being received by their cadre on the ground. The Prime Minister’s statements in Nizamabad appeared to have raised significant concerns within the Party.

Numerous BRS leaders publicly criticized Modi, with the party using cartoons, video clips, and comments on social media to convey their disdain for him. For instance, Rama Rao used Twitter to highlight that in 2018, the BJP had offered support the Party to form the state government, which sparked protests from the BJP. The party also accused the Modi government of privatizing some of the country’s valuable assets on the same platform.

The BRS conducted an online campaign centered on the theme of ‘Modi’s salesmanship,’ featuring videos of Rama Rao refuting Modi’s claims at the BJP’s Nizamabad public meeting. The party used slogans like “While KCR stands for ‘nammakam’ (belief), Modi is for ‘ammakam’ (selling away)” in multiple posts on social media.

Furthermore, the BRS criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for suggesting that Modi’s statements in Nizamabad indicated an alliance between the party and the BJP. The Party questioned Rahul Gandhi’s inconsistency, stating that his hypocrisy was no different from Modi’s falsehoods.

AP Awaits KWDT-II Decision on Krishna Water Sharing with TS:

The Andhra Pradesh government eagerly awaits the Terms of Reference (ToR) approved by the Union Cabinet in New Delhi for the Krishna Water Dispute Tribunal-II (KWDT-II). Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired the Union Cabinet meeting, which approved the ToR under section 5(1) of the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act, 1956.

These terms will facilitate the resolution of disputes between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana concerning the use, distribution, and control of Krishna River waters. The Union Cabinet believes that resolving this issue will spur growth in both states and benefit their populations.

Currently, both states are in disagreement over water allocation, with Andhra Pradesh allotted 512 tmc ft annually and Telangana receiving 299 tmc ft, based on their respective projects. Telangana seeks an equal 50% allocation, while Andhra Pradesh opposes this change.
