AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Thursday, November 30, 2023 accused the DMK regime of being “administratively incompetent” to tackle the rains in Chennai.
In a message on his social media handle, Mr. Palaniswami said the DMK government had been boasting of having taken up a ₹4,000-crore project for stormwater drains in the city which, he said, could not “withstand the impact of even a normal level of rainfall.” He called upon his party workers to go to the rescue of rain-hit people.
Separately, expressing condolences over the death of two persons in the city, the AIADMK’s former interim general secretary V.K. Sasikala said there was no clarity on whether they died of electrocution or due to lightning.
