The AIADMK’s general secretary, Edappadi K. Palaniswami, on Monday pulled up Health Minister Ma. Subramanian for the alleged medical negligence concerning an one-and-a-half-year-old boy, whose right arm had to be amputated.
In a statement, Mr. Palaniswami said this was not the first such instance during the present DMK regime. Referring to other instances which, according to him, were handled by the government poorly, he said what the Minister had been doing was to “cover up” the whole matter. “It is the fate of people of Tamil Nadu to have the Health Minister who pays no attention to his department,” Mr. Palaniswami lamented.
