Its a dispute where one state, the state of Karnataka, is adamantly against releasing Cauvery River water to Tamil Nadu. This despite the Supreme Court asking the state to do so for a period of 10 days. The pretext is that Karnataka doesn't have the water in its reservoirs to share. CM Siddaramiah asks how can he spare water when farmers and citizens don't have a drop to drink. But Tamil Nadu's political parties don't believe this. They think that narrow political compulsions, namely the fiery reactions from the opposition, have stilled the Karnataka CM Siddaramiah's hand..
