Chennai: The ruling DMK on Monday accused the main opposition AIADMK and BJP of trying to ‘politicise’ the Kallakurichi hooch tragedy to get ‘political mileage’ and said Chief Minister MK Stalin would visit Kallakurichi.
Listing the steps taken by the state government over the hooch deaths, DMK organisation secretary, R S Bharathi said his party would go to the people with facts of the matter and government’s stringent action and slammed the motivated propaganda of the AIADMK and BJP.
The two parties should have been supportive of the government’s efforts on the matter, had they been truly concerned, he said speaking to reporters here.
Addressing reporters, DMK organization secretary R S Bharathi outlined the government’s stringent measures and criticized the AIADMK and BJP for their motives. Bharathi highlighted a one-man commission led by a retired judge, assuring that the truth would emerge amid reports linking BJP and AIADMK members to illicit arrack sales.
Bharathi slammed opposition leader Edappadi K Palaniswami for ‘enacting a drama’ by staging protests and demanding a CBI probe, accusing them of seeking political mileage from the tragedy. He also criticized the AIADMK and BJP for causing disruptions in the Assembly and sidetracking efforts to address the issue effectively.
