Former Karnataka Chief Minister and BJP leader Basavaraj Bommai Monday accused the Siddaramaiah government of lacking the "will to protect the rights of Karnataka" in the ongoing Cauvery dispute with Tamil Nadu.

"This government(Siddaramaiah government) is irresponsible government, right from the beginning. There are incidents when even the Supreme Court had issued that they can go on the review petition," Bommai told reporters according to ANI.
