மத்திய, மாநில அரசுகளுக்கு இறுதி எச்சரிக்கையாக தெரிவிக்க விரும்புவது #CauveryManagementBoard க்கு பதிலாக வேறெந்த அமைப்பையும் ஏற்க மாட்டோம்!...

DMK working president M.K. Stalin issued a definitive final warning to both the central and state governments on March 25, 2018, asserting that the people of Tamil Nadu would never accept any substitute mechanism in place of the statutory Cauvery Management Board. Stalin made it unequivocally clear that diluting the autonomous authority of the board or replacing it with an advisory committee would be treated as an overt assault on the state's riparian entitlements.

Stalin cautioned the ruling powers that if the Union government sought to strip Tamil Nadu of its legitimate water rights to serve narrow political calculations, an unprecedented public uprising would erupt across the state. He noted that the final award of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal, confirmed by the Supreme Court, required an independent regulatory body with operational powers over regional reservoirs.

The DMK leader warned the state administration against playing a complicit role in compromising Tamil Nadu's foundational interests. Stalin reaffirmed that the DMK would spearhead massive public protests to resist any diluted scheme, declaring that the collective will of the people would fiercely defend their agricultural lifeline.
