BENGALURU: The Karnatakagovernment took strong objection on Saturday to Telanganas demand for the setting up of another tribunalfor allocation of Krishna riverwater among the riparian states. State water resources minister Ramesh Jarkiholi spoke to his counterpart in the Union government, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, urging the Centre not to entertain Telanganas illogical demand. A tribunal already allocated Krishna water among riparian states way back in 2013. Seeking another tribunal to decide on a matter which has already been decided is without any logic and unacceptable, Jarkiholi told Shekhawat. The Telangana government has put forth the demand owing to its dispute with Andhra Pradesh over sharing of Krishna water. It (the matter) is for them to resolve between themselves. Whatever allocation the tribunal made to then unified Andhra Pradesh should be shared by both and they shouldnt seek water from other states shares. Even the SC has said so. The apex court has also dismissed petitions seeking a direction to the Centre to set up a new tribunal, Jarkiholi said. The minister also discussed the Goa governments objection to the Kalasa-Banduri project with Shekhawat. The Goa government recently filed a contempt petition in the Supreme Court accusing Karnataka of diverting Mahadayi water to the Malaprabha river, violating the latters order. Its ridiculous on the part of Goa to go to court when the tribunal verdict has come into force and the Mahadayi dispute has reached a logical end, Jarkiholi said, adding that Karnataka will counter Goa efficiently in court.
