The dispute centres around Karnataka\u2019s proposed balancing reservoir project across the Cauvery river at Mekedatu, which Tamil Nadu has consistently opposed, arguing that it could affect the state\u2019s share of Cauvery water. The matter has remained a politically sensitive issue between the two southern states for several years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, Vijay had also written to Prime Minister Modi urging the Centre not to grant clearance to the Mekedatu project and seeking protection of Tamil Nadu\u2019s water rights under the Cauvery tribunal framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from meeting the Prime Minister, Vijay is likely to hold discussions with Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to seek financial backing for various state projects and press for greater central allocations to Tamil Nadu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi ( Raghwendra Pratap Singh) : Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Wednesday and discussed a range of issues concerning the state, marking the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief\u2019s maiden official visit to the national capital since assuming office earlier this month.
