PM intervention in Cauvery row difficult now: Sitaraman

Bengaluru, Sep 18 (UNI) Union Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitaraman today reiterated the BJP party's stand that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was not in a position to intervene in the Cauvery river water issue between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, as it was in the courts.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a party function here, she said the demand by Congress party and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for Mr Modi's intervention was not proper.
Before attending BJP Mahila Morcha State Executive, the Union Commerce Minister said already Karnataka State BJP unit President B S Yeddyurappa had made it clear about stance of the party on the issue and said the state will have to continue to take the legal recourse to solve the issue.
