Puthiya Tamilagam Chief Dr. Krishnasamy has slammed the DMK for using the anti-Hindi imposition protest and opposition to Governor RN Ravi as a shield to conceal its defeat in governance.
Puthiya Tamilagam Party held a party functionary meeting at a private wedding hall in Kovilpatti, Thoothukudi district, headed by its President Dr. Krishnasamy. Following this, a protest was held in front of the Kovilpatti taluk office, condemning the DMK government and demanding that the electricity tariff increase be reversed.
Dr. Krishnasamy, who spoke to the Press after the protest, said, ” The DMK stated in its last election manifesto that electricity readings would be taken once a month. However, the DMK government has raised the electricity tariff. The DMK, which claims to be the Dravidian model, must fulfill its promise in words and action.”
He added,” Coimbatore is becoming a hub for terrorists. International conspiracies are centered around Coimbatore. A social harmony rally will be held in Coimbatore on November 17th to create harmony among people from all walks of life. It will be attended by people of all religions.”
He said, “Even after 18 months in power, the DMK has yet to implement a complete prohibition of alcohol in Tamil Nadu, despite having promised to do so. The DMK is breaking all of its promises. The DMK government has been criticizing the governor and using anti-Hindi protests to cover up its governance failures.” He added that the DMK government is fighting against the imposition of unimposed Hindi.
He further said, ” The price of milk has been hiked due to mismanagement in the Aavin department, and not because of an increase in procurement costs. The government should publish a white paper on milk procurement prices. The DMK will face backlash for raising milk prices in the near future.”
“Why didn’t the government take preventative measures when it was clear that rain would cause problems in Chennai? The DMK government is losing ground on a daily basis, and everyone from MPs to MLAs to panchayat leaders is involved in mineral looting,” he stated.
He concluded by saying, “DMK officials are illegally operating bars near TASMAC outlets. Everything is going wrong and against the promises made by the DMK government. When they are unable to carry out their promise of implementing the old pension scheme and resolving transport department issues, they resort to anti-Hindi imposition to conceal their failure in governance. Where is the imposition of Hindi? The DMK is giving the impression that Hindi is being imposed.”
