PTI, CHENNAI: DMK-led opposition today requested Tamil Nadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit to facilitate a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the Cauvery issue.
DMK working president M K Stalin today said following a request, Purohit assured opposition leaders that he would make efforts for facilitating a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the Cauvery issue.
Opposition party leaders called on the governor at the Raj Bhavan here and requested him to urge Modi to take immediate steps to form the Cauvery Management Board.
Stalin said he informed the governor that although it was decided at a recent government held all party meeting to meet Modi on exerting pressure to form the CMB, it has not happened.
A resolution also was passed in the Assembly on the Cauvery issue to lead a delegation of all parties and farmers to meet the prime minister to mount pressure, he said.
“We asked him (Purohit) if he can get us an opportunity (to meet PM Modi) and the governor assured us that he will make efforts for it,” Stalin told reporters after meeting Purohit.
