Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) leader Premalatha Vijayakant on Friday, October 20, 2023 claimed that the ruling DMK government was unable to successfully implement the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Thittam.
Prior to coming to power, the DMK had promised to provide ₹1,000 to all women in Tamil Nadu but, after forming the government, it said that the scheme was meant only for eligible women, Ms. Premalatha said while speaking to journalists in Pudukottai.
No women in the State had asked for ₹1,000 per month. The DMK, to capture power, gave a “false promise” of providing ₹1,000 to all women. But, there was a lot of confusion with regard to the scheme, she said and sought to know what was the eligibility criteria the DMK government expected.
