Krishna pursuing 'mission'

By Our Staff Reporter

Bangalore Sept. 6. The Karnataka Chief Minister, S.M. Krishna, said here today that he was pursuing his mission with the Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, for convening an emergency meeting of the Cauvery River Authority.

Speaking to The Hindu from Delhi, he said that it assumed more than the normal urgency in the light of the Prime Minister`s visit to the U.S., starting on Monday.

"The decision of the Supreme Court has a perilous impact on our reservoirs which are badly affected by the failure of the monsoon." Taking note of the observation of the apex court, which has a message to the Government of India for convening the meeting of the CRA at the earliest, he said: ``It is unfair to bring political considerations relating to this issue. There is transparency on the part of the Karnataka Government in whatever has happened."

"Every State involved in the dispute is concerned about its legitimate interests. Hence I will not suspect anybody," he said.
