The Historic Verdict

Image
Author : Arun Ravi       Cauvery issue was a century long issue begun in 1892 between erstwhile Mysore Kingdom and Madras Presidency. Cauvery originates from Kodagu hills in Karnataka and flows through Tamilnadu. A series of negotiations took place between both parties, all ended in failure. There were improvements in post Independence era especially after 1980's.        In 1990, Supreme Court ordered to constitute Cauvery Water Dispute Tribunal (CWDT) which gave temporary solution to this issue.In 1991 CWDT announces an interim judgement in favour of Tamilnadu. But it could not be implemented. So, then BJP led government formed Cauvery River Authority to carry out CWDT's Judgement. There were widespread protests in Karnataka. In 2002 A.B.Vajpayee himself chaired Cauvery River Authority and negotiated which too could not reach a conclusion.        In 2007 after 17 years, CWDT announced its final decision on water ...

Author: Arun Ravi Chief Minister, his Deputy and other colleges                    The widely expected thought was that EPS government may fall in one month or two.But the fact is that it has successfully completed one year despite losing its majority 5 months ago.It was a greatest achievement of EPS and ADMK.     Edappadi K.Palanisamy popularly known as 'EPS', is often termed within ADMK as a 'doer' and a background player.He steadily grew up in ranks within the party and became Minister for the first time in 2011.     His choice for CM post is not unexpected as his name had done rounds along with Panneerselvam and Sengottaiyan when Jayalalitha was convicted in 2014.But at that time the scenario was not in hisfavour. But in 2017 as OPS was ousted there was just a bipolar contest between Sengottaiayan and EPS. In the race EPS won over Sengottaiayan due to his influence in the Kongu belt. EPS with Jayalali...
