The Leader of the Opposition in the Tamil Nadu Assembly in a letter to the prime minister requested him to "instruct the concerned Central Ministries" not to "give approval for the construction of Mekedatu Reservoir" as proposed by neighbouring Karnataka.

He argued that it would be against the interest of the people of Tamil Nadu.

The DMK leader said that the proposed reservoir is in total violation of the final order of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal dated 5.2.2007 as well as the Judgment of the Supreme Court of India dated 16.2.2018.
