Tiruppathur (Tamil Nadu) [India], October 25 : AMMK General Secretary TTV Dhinakaran launched a scathing attack on the ruling government in Tamil Nadu over rising prices of essential commodities, saying the steep increase in rice prices could pose a major threat to the TVK government.
“The prices of essential commodities, including rice and salt, have soared to unprecedented levels. The steep rise in rice prices could prove to be a major threat to the TVK government,” he said.
Dhinakaran said people had voted for change, but the present government had turned into a “disaster” for them. He also predicted that the government would not last long and claimed that people would soon bring it to an end.
Dhinakaran said leaders had come together under the leadership of AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami to restore the government associated with former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, popularly known as Amma.
He added that the return of the 'Amma' government was necessary to safeguard law and order in Tamil Nadu.
