Devise a viable Cauvery scheme soon,stop disruptive protests
What has happened?
The Centre cannot continue to evade its legal obligation to create a mechanism to implement the Supreme Court’s final verdict in the Cauvery dispute. This was the broad message conveyed by the court on Monday when it admonished the government for failing to frame a scheme within the six-week time limit given earlier.
SC: Centre evading from its responsibility
- The Court reprimanded the Govt on its failure to frame a scheme within the prescribed timeline.
- It also ordered the govt. to provide a draft scheme to prove its bona fides (intentions)
Centre: probably concerned about Karnataka assembly elections
- It clearly fears that framing a scheme may adversely affect its prospects in Karnataka, which goes to the polls next month
- In the conflict between duty and electoral considerations, the BJP has chosen the latter.
