CHENNAI: The BJP members on Saturday staged a black flag protest against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin allegedly for giving up the state’s rights on inter-state water disputes and also against Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on the Mekedatu dam row.
Shivakumar, who attended the Fair Delimitation meeting convened by Stalin here, said he was waiting to see the black flags appear before him but couldn’t see any. “Black is the colour of Shani Bhagwan. I visited His temple at Thirunallar (in Puducherry) several times,” the Karnataka Congress president told reporters when he sought his comments on the BJP’s black flag protest.
BJP state chief K Annamalai, who led the protest, claimed that though Tamil Nadu faced numerous problems with Kerala and Karnataka over sharing of water, Stalin had done precious little to resolve them. “Instead, he is enacting a drama on delimitation,” he alleged.
