Later, they were released on bail by a local court. The activists alleged that the people of Bangalore, who consume the Cauvery water, were silent over the issue and felt that disruption of water supply would force them to participate in the protests.Champa Extends SupportWriter Chandrashekara Patil (Champa) participated in a dharna organised by the Cauvery River Protection Committee here on Friday and termed Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s directions to release water to Tamil Nadu unfortunate and politically motivated.He said the state could not be expected to release water when it had no surplus left in the reservoir due to scanty rainfall.Stating that External Affairs Minister S M Krishna should resign his post and lead the Cauvery agitation, Champa called upon the Union ministers and MPs from the state as well as other political leaders to prevail upon the prime minister to reconsider his decision.first published:September 22, 2012, 11:23 ISTlast updated:September 22, 2012, 11:23 IST
