K Palaniswami also claimed that corruption is widespread in all departments.
Chennai:
Alleging corruption by the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu, the opposition AIADMK on Wednesday filed a petition seeking action from the state Governor RN Ravi, saying law and order has broken down in the state.
AIADMK interim chief and Leader of the Opposition in Tamil Nadu K Palaniswami said the main opposition party has apprised the governor about the “poor state of law and order” in several areas in the state.
Ridiculing Chief Minister MK Stalin’s repeated statement that his government is a “Dravidian model” of governance, which is development-oriented and inclusive in nature, it is only about “commission, collection, corruption”. Is.
“We met the governor to highlight the bad happenings in Tamil Nadu. In this 18-month DMK rule, there has been a complete breakdown of law and order,” he told reporters after meeting the governor at the Raj Bhavan.
Palaniswami said crimes including murder have become a daily occurrence and “all this is happening because of an incompetent puppet chief minister ruling the state”.
He said that the Coimbatore car blast on October 23, in which the alleged perpetrator was killed, could have been avoided had the state police heeded the central intelligence alert in this regard.
He said that the intelligence department knows where such elements are present and if the police had acted in time, this incident could have been prevented.
K Palaniswami also claimed that corruption is rampant in all government departments.
“Commission, extortion, corruption is the policy…this is the Dravidian model,” he said.
Criticizing the government over alleged shortage of medicines in hospitals, he said that during the previous AIADMK government, adequate stock of medicines was available in government hospitals.
K Palaniswami said the party has taken up all the issues with the governor, who said he would look into them.
Responding to a question on Ravi’s working style, the Leader of Opposition said, “It is good” and claimed that is why the DMK opposed him.
The governor is at loggerheads with the state government over a number of issues, including the assent to his assembly bill seeking exemption of Tamil Nadu from the National Entrance-cum-Eligibility Test (NEET).
