Former Minister M. Paranjothi, secretary, Tiruchi (North) district, led the protest held in Musiri. A large number of cadre from different parts of Musiri, Thottiyam, Mannachanallur and Thathaiyengarpettai and other areas took part in the protest. Former Ministers Sivapathi, S. Valarmathi, T.P. Poonatchi and Annavi were among those participated in the protest. The protestors raised slogans against the State government and Minister for Electricity V. Senthil Balaji. They blamed the State government for the huge loss of the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco).
Manapparai
Former Member of Parliament P. Kumar, secretary, Tiruchi (south), led the protest in Manapparai.
The party cadre from Manapparai, Marungapuri, Vaiyampatti, Thuvarankurichi, Manikandam and other areas of the district participated in the protest, which was organised for the first time after former Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami was elected as the interim general secretary of the AIADMK.
Blaming the mismanagement for the loss of the Tangedco, Mr. Kumar said that it would hit the common people hard. Since the DMK government came to power in the State, it had increased property taxes across the State. It had done nothing constructive except increasing the property taxes and power tariffs.
