Congress leaders in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka exchange sharp criticism over remarks connected to the Mekedatu dam project, intensifying tensions within the Congress party itself. The dispute is linked to the Cauvery water sharing fight between the two states.
All three outlets describe how Tamil Nadu Congress president Manickam Tagore and Karnataka chief minister DK Shivakumar trade accusations after Shivakumar’s public comments about the Cauvery issue and the Mekedatu dam. Coverage places the confrontation firmly within party politics in Tamil Nadu, portraying Tagore as the central critic of Shivakumar’s stance.
While the core story remains the same across reports—an intra-party backlash tied to Mekedatu and Cauvery—each outlet frames emphasis differently. One report highlights a “war of words” between named party figures, another focuses on Shivakumar being slammed by Tamil Nadu’s chief minister, and the third centres on how Shivakumar’s Mekedatu push riles Congress in Tamil Nadu.
