Speaking on the long‑standing Kaveri water dispute, Shivdasan warned that water allocation is a critical issue not only for the southern states but for the whole nation. He cited experts who predict that future conflicts may arise over water resources if equitable solutions are not found. Shivdasan urged both Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to engage in dialogue and mutual understanding, describing water as a resource that belongs to all, not to a single state or individual. He called for a fair and transparent distribution mechanism to avoid escalation.
