AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami has raised concerns over Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay's silence following Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar's comments on the Mekedatu dam project. Shivakumar claimed Karnataka does not need permission to build a dam across the Cauvery river at Mekedatu, despite Vijay opposing the move in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Palaniswami urged a firm response from the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, highlighting a Supreme Court ruling during the AIADMK government mandating Karnataka to release 177.25 TMC of water each year to Tamil Nadu's Mettur Dam on a monthly basis.
