Bangalore: Karnataka Chief Minister S M Krishna on November 6 reiterated the state's demand for constituting a fresh tribunal on Krishna river water sharing.

"What we did two months ago, Andhra Pradesh is doing the same now," Krishna told reporters, reacting to Andhra Pradesh's move to file a "complaint" with the Centre seeking constitution of a new tribunal.

Krishna said that the tribunal would decide the rightful share of the riparian states.

He declined to react to his Tamil Nadu counterpart Jayalalithaa's conditionalities on holding of the Cauvery River Authority (CRA) meetings, saying that he would do so after examining the contents of her letter.

Jayalalithaa had on November 5 written to Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee calling for a "minimum fixed agenda" at the meetings of CRA.

Krishna said that the state expected the CRA meeting to be held after the Prime Minister's return from abroad. Karnataka has been pleading for a CRA meeting in the wake of the ongoing Cauvery row with Tamil Nadu.
