Congress Will not come to Tamil Nadu's rescue on Mullai Periyar Dam Issue:Dr Ramdoss

The Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) founder leader Dr S Ramadoss has said that the Congress party which is eyeing for power in Kerala in the next Assembly elections, will not come to Tamil Nadu's rescue on the Mullai Peryar Dam issue.

Dr Ramadoss on Sudnay said people of the state should stand united in its inter-state river water disputes, especially the Mullaperiar dam row with Kerala.

“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,” he said in a statement here.

Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi had on Saturday sought the intervention of the Centre to solve the interstate water disputes, including the Mullaperiyar dam row.

Dr Ramadoss appreciated the Chief Minister Karunanidhi's gesture, but he doubted over the Congress Party's political play in the issue.
