The party's three-day State Committee meeting, which concluded in Tirupur yesterday, attended by party General Secretary Prakash Karat, state unit secretary G Ramakrishnan and others, slammed the Centre stating that it had failed to ensure that Tamil Nadu received its due share of water from Cauvery river.
"Samba crops taken up over 14.5 lakh acres are going waste due to Karnataka government's adamant stand against releasing water to Tamil Nadu, besides failure of monsoon, resulting in untold miseries of farmers," a resolution said.
Centre should announce a drought-relief package of Rs 2500 crore, it demanded while extending support to farmer bodies' protest on January seven in three of the delta districts in connection with the issue.
