Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Friday said her government was making all efforts to uphold the rights of the state on the Cauvery water-sharing issue and hoped it would get justice from the Supreme Court.
Replying to a motion moved by Left parties in the Assembly, she said Karnataka had been compelled to release at least some quantity of water because her government moved the court.
'My government is taking various steps to uphold Tamil Nadu's rights. Following my persistent efforts and the SC's intervention, Karnataka had been compelled to release at least some quantity of water,' she said.
With short-term Kuruvai crops affected due to shortage of water, her govt was taking steps to save the samba crops, she said. 'Steps are being taken to realise TN's rigtfull share of water from Cauvery and I am confident that we will get that through the SC,' she said.
She recalled that the state had moved the apex court against Karnataka on various issues, including using Cauvery water for summer irrigation.
