Mr Stalin said on X he is shocked and pained by the loss of lives, and said the accused had been arrested and action taken against officials who failed to prevent the tragedy.
AIADMK leader E Palaniswami has attacked Tamil Nadu's ruling DMK after the deaths of 37 people who drank toxic liquor in Kallakurichi district. Mr Palaniswami - Chief Minister in the earlier AIADMK-BJP allied government - demanded his successor, MK Stalin, resign. என்னை மிகவும் வேதனைக்குள்ளாக்கியுள்ள கள்ளக்குறிச்சி நிகழ்வு நிகழ்ந்திருக்கக் கூடாத ஒன்று. எடுக்கப்பட்டுவரும் நடவடிக்கைகள் அத்தனையையும் கண்காணித்து வருகிறேன்.மருத்துவமனையில் சிகிச்சை பெற்று வருபவர்களுக்கு உயர்தர சிகிச்சை அளிக்கப்பட்டு வருகிறது. உயிரிழந்தவர்களின் குடும்பங்களுக்கு… pic.twitter.com/fPKhUpdsls
Mr Palaniswami also alleged the involvement of DMK workers in the tragedy and urged the state to enhance monetary relief being offered to the families of those who died. Mr Stalin's government has offered Rs 10 lakh but Mr Palaniswami - who called his rival "incapable" and said he offered "excuses every time" - said Rs 25 lakh should be paid.
An AIADMK MLA had earlier moved a motion in the Assembly but it was turned down.
