DMK leaders allege law and order breakdown in Tamil Nadu
M.K. Stalin and Udhayanidhi Stalin accused the TVK-led government of administrative failure and rising crime.
DMK chief M.K. Stalin on Tuesday alleged that law and order in Tamil Nadu is in an intensive care unit and governance is in a coma. According to reports from ANI and The Hindu, Stalin accused the ruling TVK government of administrative failure and a breakdown in state functioning.
Stalin claimed that 17 murders occurred in a single day. He also alleged that the dignity of the Deputy Speaker of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly was undermined and that a TVK MLA sent obscene messages to a woman District Collector.
The DMK president described Chief Minister Joseph Vijay as a part-time Chief Minister and a full-time content creator who lacks responsibility. He further alleged that criminals have no fear of the government and that police personnel lack protection.
Leader of the Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin also criticised the government, stating that nine people, including a policeman, were killed on Sunday. He claimed that on a festival day, the noise of weapons was more prominent than the sound of firecrackers.
Udhayanidhi Stalin referred to the Chief Minister as a Dummy CM and alleged that prisoners escaped during prison inspections. He also accused the Deputy Speaker of physically assaulting a citizen who had come with a grievance and then threatening the individual into releasing a video statement.
