AIADMK Leader Condemns DMK Government Over Deteriorating Law and Order
AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami launched a scathing attack on the DMK government on Monday, accusing it of a severe decline in law and order across Tamil Nadu. He called upon the public to join in large numbers for a state-wide protest organized by the AIADMK-led NDA on Tuesday, aiming to highlight what he termed as the government's failures.
Allegations of Rising Crime and Drug Menace
In a strongly worded statement, Palaniswami alleged that Tamil Nadu has transformed into a safe haven for anti-social elements and drug peddlers under the current DMK administration. He expressed grave concern over school and college students falling victim to ganja and liquor consumption, attributing this trend directly to the government's inability to curb drug trafficking effectively.
Custodial Deaths and Welfare Scheme Discontinuation
Palaniswami further intensified his criticism by pointing out that 30 custodial deaths have been reported during the DMK government's tenure, raising serious questions about police accountability and human rights. Additionally, he charged that the present dispensation has discontinued several welfare schemes that were introduced by the previous AIADMK government, impacting the well-being of citizens.
Protest Aimed at Exposing Anti-People Policies
The AIADMK leader emphasized that the upcoming protest, organized in collaboration with the BJP, is designed to expose what he described as the DMK government's anti-people policies and poor governance. He announced that leaders and cadre from alliance partners will actively participate in demonstrations across their respective districts, mobilizing support to challenge the ruling party.
Call for Electoral Change
Urging the public to take a stand, Palaniswami appealed for voters to reject the DMK government in the upcoming April 23 election. He framed the protest as a crucial step towards holding the administration accountable and fostering a safer, more prosperous future for Tamil Nadu.
