Reacting to a proposed meeting with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay and his Karnataka counterpart D K Shivakumar over the dispute, the DMK spokesperson dismissed the effort as a "show off".
Deputy CM Shivakumar said the state is in no position to release water to Tamil Nadu, as it doesn't have enough water storage, due to a lack of adequate rainfall.
Karnataka has been pressing for the implementation of the Mekedatu project, saying it is the only solution for the Cauvery water dispute between the two states during times of rainfall distress.
The matter was mentioned by the counsel representing Tamil Nadu for urgent listlisting before a bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra.
