Questioning the alleged delay on the part of Kallakurichi district administration and police in probing the death of a Class XII girl on her school premises, AIADMK interim general secretary and the Leader of Opposition Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Sunday blamed Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and the police for the violence on the campus.
Talking to reporters after chairing a meeting of AIADMK MLAs in a hotel in Chennai, Mr. Palaniswami contended that if the district administration and police had assured the deceased girl’s mother of action against the institution, if anything wrong was found on its part, the situation would not have come to this. “Chief Minister M.K. Stalin is responsible as he is the head of the government and is also holding the police portfolio,” Mr. Palaniswami charged, accusing the State government and police of being inactive and the district administration of being careless.
