The party’s coordinator and former CM, O. Panneerselvam, condemned the actions of the Kerala government and urged CM Stalin to explain TN’s stand to the farmers of the State
Questioning the manner in which Mullaperiyar dam was opened to release water much against the stand of farmers in Tamil Nadu, AIADMK coordinator O. Panneerselvam on Saturday raised several queries over the issue and urged Chief Minister M.K. Stalin to explain the State government’s stand to the people of Tamil Nadu and its farmers.
“When Tamil Nadu Minister for Water Resources and experts have opined that Mullaperiyar dam is safe and when the water storage in the dam has not reached 142 feet as yet, farmers question the need for releasing water to Kerala, especially when water has not reached Sivaganga and Ramanathapuram districts,” Mr. Panneerselvam pointed out.
