Koodankulam power for Tamilnadu only

J Jayalalitha recently demanded that the power generated from the Koodankulam Nuclear power plant be made available exclusively for Tamilnadu.  She seems to be justified in making such a demand in the current political scenario where all the Indian states are bent upon keeping all the natural resources only for their states and refuse to share with their neighbours despite court rulings or at least on humanitarian grounds?  The Cauvery water issue stands unresolved and erupts whenever there is an election or an issue to divert the attention of the people from the real burning issues affecting day to day life. The neighbouring states of Andhra, Karnataka and Kerala are all up in arms and trying their best to prevent the natural River water from flowing into Tamilnadu citing some stupid reason every time when the legitimate supply of water is demanded by  Tamilnadu.

Kerala recently threatened to build a new dam in Iduki stating vague reasons and increase the height of the Dam so that the precious water does not trickle into the Neighbouring state of Tamilnadu.  The political class even encouraged a movie based on this issue which created a furore and riots in both the states in favour and against only to give that extra mileage to the political parties that took advantage of the situation. The irony is that the subject matter is cooling itself without affecting the day to day life in both the states even without finding a solution to it? The charisma of Indian politics can be easily seen in such incidents which spring up suddenly out of no where and lie in rest after the purpose of politics is met with!

Under these circumstances, the Tamilnadu chief minister demanding that the power produced from the Koodankulam Nuclear power plant be made available only to Tamilnadu seems to be a right move in the right direction, though it may sound selfish? These days, when the state is reeling under severe shortage of power with centre supplying only a tenth of what is demanded, it is justified that the state retains all the power for themselves.  After all the people of Tamilnadu are the ones who have generously agreed to have the nuclear plant stationed in the state despite fears of disaster happening in the event of earth quakes or Tsunami.  The people of the state must be rewarded rightly and more so in the light of neighbouring states refusing to share water.  How can we call ourselves as Indians and belonging to one country when we are deprived of natural resources in the name of politics?  Suitable amends to the constitution should be made and the President should try and concentrate on these subjects rather than touring foreign countries at a huge cost without bringing in any results in favour of the country!  If States are allowed to act selfish to serve their ends and needs, India will disintegrate soon and a time will come when Visa may be required to travel to Delhi or Mumbai or even Bangalore??  Hope the central government does something for the sake of country and its honour??
