P Ayyakkannu, spearheading a movement for the need to interlink Southern rivers and also fighting for farmers' cause, today said he hoped that the Centre would constitute the Cauvery Management Board at least after the May 12 Karnataka Assembly elections.
If this did not happen, farmers would resume their agitation by going to Delhi, he told reporters here.
It was evident that the Centre was betraying Tamil Nadu in view of the polls there, Ayyakkannu alleged.
Ayyakkannu, along with a few farmers, submitted a memorandum to the Collector.
Farmers were opposed to the sales of GM seeds and were carrying out a 100-day campaign against this, he said.
District farmers wanted to implement the Anamalai-Nallaru project immediately since a lot of water from these water bodies was going waste to Kerala, he asid.
