Chennai: The MDMK party led by Vaiko on Monday announced its decision to quit the BJP-led alliance to protest against the government’s stand on Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu’s water row with Kerala and Karnataka.
A high level committee of the Tamil Nadu-based party passed a resolution to this effect at a meeting here. The MDMK said that when it joined the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), the party made it clear that the BJP-led government should not support Sri Lanka and its President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
Similarly, the party said the central government was betraying the interests of Tamil Nadu over the Mullaperiyar dam row with Kerala and on the sharing of Cauvery river water with Karnataka.(IANS)
