Both Karnataka and Tamil Nadu had rejected the tribunal's directive of releasing 9,000 cusecs of water to save standing crops in the delta region.
DMK chief M Karunanidhi on Sunday slammed arch rival and Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa for turning down the Cauvery tribunal ruling on water release, saying the Supreme Court would have considered Tamil Nadu's demand for more water if she had accepted it.
"The Supreme Court has directed Karnataka to release 9,000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu as per the CRA's decision. Had Jayalalitha accepted the decision the day it was announced by CRA, the apex court would have praised Tamil Nadu Government for its decision and fully considered its requests," he wrote in party mouthpiece 'Murasoli'.
The Supreme Court on September 28 had pulled up Karnataka for failing to comply with the Prime Minister-headed Cauvery River Authority's directive to release 9,000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu.
The September 19 meeting of the Cauvery River Authority, convened by Prime Minister Singh following the Centre's assurance in this regard to the apex court, had failed to produce a solution.
Both Karnataka and Tamil Nadu had rejected the tribunal's directive of releasing 9,000 cusecs of water to save standing crops in the delta region.
Terming the meeting a "totally disappointing" one, Jayalalithaa had said her government would move the Supreme Court to seek justice.
