PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss on Friday (April 13, 2024) evening told a gathering that Attur would be bifurcated from Salem district and made into a separate district in 2026, after a coalition government, without the DMK or AIADMK, was formed in T.N.
Campaigning in Attur for PMK’s Kallakurichi Lok Sabha candidate R. Devadass, Dr. Anbumani said this election was crucial as it would herald the 2026 Assembly elections in T.N., when a coalition government without the DMK and AIADMK would come to power in the State.
Attur, Gangavalli, and Yercaud assembly constituencies in Salem district lack development, he pointed out. “Five years ago, I came to all 11 assembly constituencies in Salem, including Attur, and created awareness regarding the Salem-Mettur surplus water scheme and the Vasishta River linking project. The two Dravidian parties have destroyed Tamil Nadu in their 50 years of rule,” Dr. Anbumani said .
