A River of Discord: Karnataka's Plea for Cooperation Falls Flat The Cauvery water dispute has been a thorn in the side of India's inter state relationships for far too long, with Karnataka and Tamil Nadu locked in a cycle of recrimination and mutual distrust.
The latest salvo comes from Karnataka BJP chief BY Vijayendra, who wrote to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin urging him to adopt a more cooperative approach to resolving the dispute over the Cauvery river's waters.
Vijayendra's letter is a rare example of a top BJP leader attempting to reach out across party lines and bridge the deepening divide between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
