Recalling how the elected representatives of various political parties were working together in providing relief to the victims of electrocution in Kalimedu that claimed 11 lives, Minister for School Education Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi urged members in the Assembly not politicise such accidents.
During the Question Hour, Mr. Poyyamozhi recalled his experiences at Kalimedu on Wednesday and pointed out that an AIADMK member was a panchayat president in the area, a BJP member a councillor and a DMK member a chief in the panchayat union. But all of them worked in the field overcoming their political differences.
“I would like the see the same in the House too,” Mr. Poyyamozhi said. The Minister for School Education turned emotional while recalling how he garlanded the body of a boy, killed in the accident.
