Chennai sources stated that senior AIADMK leader M Thambidurai said his party would consider moving a no-trust motion in Parliament against the NDA government if Congress supported it. "Stalin says AIADMK should bring a no-trust motion on Cauvery issue and they are ready to bring it.
Accordingly Thambidruai, a senior AIADMK leader from Western Tamil Nadu, said such a no-trust move would however be only for the Cauvery issue. He said "Only on the Cauvery issue not for any other general issue. To urge constitution of the Cauvery Management Board, and since the Centre has failed to do that, we will consider that if other parties like Congress support it". He added "To solve the Cauvery issue, this should become a people's movement transcending party barriers".
Moreover Thambidurai's assertion on the no trust move comes against the
backdrop of Congress ruled Karnataka going to the polls next month, where
Cauvery is an emotive issue like in Tamilnadu. Further days ago, Stalin had
demanded that the ruling AIADMK support the no-trust move of the TDP to mount
pressure on the Centre to set up the Cauvery Management Board. Recently
Stalin-led party said it would hold continuous protests like the one today at
Valluvar Kottam here, till the CMB was constituted.
