In a resounding display of solidarity, former Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, has thrown the party's full support behind the state bandh called by various pro-Kannada organizations in protest of the Cauvery water issue.

In a candid statement, former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda expressed regret over the lack of unity among Karnataka politicians concerning the issue of preventing Cauvery water from being released to Tamil Nadu.

In a scathing critique of the Congress-led government in Karnataka, former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy has lambasted the government's approach to the Cauvery river water issue.
