Karnataka CM meets Rajnath Singh, SC to continue to hear Cauvery dispute case
The Prime Minister's Office had, on Thursday, turned down the CM's request for an appointment, media reported.
An all-party delegation, headed by Siddaramaiah, had sought the appointment to discuss drought-related issues, including farmer distress and loan waivers, according to media reports.
Failing to secure the appointment, Karnataka CM has asked the MPs from the state to raise the issue with the Union government.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on Friday upheld the maintainability of appeals filed by Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala against the 2007 award of Cauvery Water Dispute Tribunal, the media reported.
