Bengaluru, May 20: Designated Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy exuded confidence that he would complete five years as Chief Minister of the state and give a stable government.

Kumaraswamy said that Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are like brothers. “There is no question of quarrelling for Cauvery water. Reservoirs in the Cauvery Basin do not have water. Where should we get water for Tamil Nadu”, he asked.

He has got the dharshan of God Srirangam of Tiruchchi. If there is a grace of God and nature, the reservoirs might get sufficient water and dispute between the two states regarding water could be solved, he added.
