CHENNAI: AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Saturday alleged that municipal administration minister K N Nehru was prioritising the DMK’s youth wing conference scheduled to take place in Salem than cyclone Michaung, even as the meteorology department was issuing alerts for a week about the rainfall.
Talking to reporters after distributing relief material in north Chennai, Palaniswami said the minister was not concerned about the precautionary measures that were required to be taken to protect the people but kept his focus on the conduct of the event every day. “The minister was in Salem most of the time. If the time spent there was spent in Chennai, people would have been saved from a lot of damage,” the former CM said.
