The incident in which a BJP functionary was assaulted by the local DMK in Dindigul was condemned by BJP leaders.
Varadharajan, a BJP functionary from Dindigul West, learned from local residents that illegal sand mining was taking place in his neighbourhood. He rushed to the location after getting the information and found that it was local DMK cadres who were involved in illegal sand mining. The gang violently assaulted Varadharajan, who tried to stop them.
Varadharajan was badly injured and was taken to the Dindigul government hospital for treatment. Local BJP officials and several senior leaders condemned the DMK cadres’ attack on the BJP functionary who was attempting to stop illegal mining in Dindigul.
It is worth noting that, based on several media reports, Water Resources minister Duraimurugan came under criticism a few days back for allegedly handing a sand quarry contract to sand baron Sekhar Reddy and his aides in exchange for a bribe of crores of rupees.
K Annamalai, BJP state vice president, said that illegal sand mining has been going unabated after the new DMK government has come to power.
