The IT wing of TVK has stepped up its attack on the DMK over the Cauvery issue, arguing that Tamil Nadu farmers should remain at the center of the debate. The party unit said the approach associated with Vijay is focused on farmer welfare and used the river dispute to question the DMK’s record.
According to the allegation, the DMK did not take decisive action on the Cauvery issue when it was in power. TVK’s IT wing claimed the party had stayed largely silent earlier and has become more vocal only after moving into the opposition.
The criticism turns the Cauvery dispute into a broader political argument about accountability and consistency. For parties in Tamil Nadu, the issue carries strong weight because it is closely tied to irrigation, livelihoods and the long-running concerns of farmers.
With this latest statement, TVK is trying to draw a contrast between its own political messaging and the DMK’s past conduct on Cauvery. The exchange shows how farmer welfare and inter-state water disputes continue to shape the state’s political narrative.
