Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay and Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin engaged in a heated exchange in the State Assembly regarding the contentious Mekedatu dam project and Cauvery water sharing.
The CM formally rejected the DMK's demand for an all-party meeting, asserting that the government is handling the legal dispute through appropriate judicial channels rather than political grandstanding.
The confrontation highlights growing friction between the two leaders, with Vijay declaring his readiness to face political criticism to protect the state's water rights against Karnataka's proposed construction.
