Strongly opposing the increase in electricity tariff for domestic category, former Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam on Sunday condemned the DMK government and sought rollback of the steep rise.
In a statement, Mr. Panneerselvam recalled assurances in the DMK's election manifesto that it would increase the free electricity for handloom weavers to 300 units and would increase free electricity for powerlooms to 1,000 units.
"The DMK, which came to power with these hollow promises, has not only failed to implement these assurances but has instead imposed unbearable additional burden on the people. This is like adding insult to the injury," Mr. Panneerselvam said.
