CM HD Kumaraswamy pitches solution to Cauvery row after Kamal meets him

The star war has become total in Tamil Nadu. And in strategic and impact terms, it's advantage Kamal Haasan today. Where Rajini took the pragmatic and appealing approach of suggesting the anti-social elements involved in the sterlite protests shouldn't have attacked police, Kamal Haasan jumped in today all guns blazing claiming that if that was Rajini's definition of anti-social, then he was anti-social to boot. Then kamal zoomed off to Bengaluru to hold a high profile meeting with the cm Hd Kumaraswamy. After which they stood shoulder to shoulder promising to resolve the Cauvery dispute people to people. Good fortune of good rains in Karnataka may mean that HDK might be in a position to actually release some extra water to Tamil Nadu, brownie points of Kamal. This star is taking populist stands and is hoping to become the ambassador of Tamil pride in the political vaccum provided by the disintegration of the AIADMK. Rajini on the other hand is facing protests in his old home of Karnataka for his comments on the Cauvery dispute...with some outfits pushing to ban his new film Kaala in the state. To kick a man when he's already down, the victim of the police firing in Tuticorin has claimed today that associates of Rajini were threatening him and forcing him to apologise. So who's on top, who's the real Tamil Thalaiava is Kamal's grandstanding in Bengaluru a sign of him being the poster boy of the Anti-Modi front in the south and will that mean Rajini becomes the BJP proxy in Tamil Nadu and if so, what does this mean for the Stalin and the Dmk and the dreams of a southern state alliance to better lobby the centre.
