Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Orisssa, Kerala
All these States have one common problem. River water disputes.The States are locked up in legal disputes.

These States pay millions of Rupees to Senior lawyers of High Courts, River Dispute Settlement Tribunals, and the Supreme Court.These States and their politicians of the ruling and opposition hue, suffer from the same superstition. -- the higher the fees the advocate charges, the more efficiently he will present the cases and gets favorable judgements.

Column 2 : Name of the State;
