The Pattali Makkal Katchi leader S Ramdoss urged the people of tamil nadu to stand united in dealing with its inter state river water dispute. He said that the state should not rely on help from congress party as congress is expected to come to power in Kerala at the next assembly elections. “For long, lack of unity in the state has been the undoing when it comes to water disputes with other states. If this continues, the results could be disastrous for Tamil Nadu. Therefore people should join hands and come forward to organise joint protests,” said he. His remarks came after the Chief Minister M Karunanidhi requested for centre's intervention to solve the mullaperiyar issue.
