BJP leaders condemn DMK govt. over petrol bomb attack near Raj Bhavan. Union Minister L. Murugan alleges governance failure; BJP State president K. Annamalai says criminals have taken the streets. P. Sudhakar Reddy urges govt. to ensure exemplary punishment for culprit and those behind him.
BJP leaders came down strongly on the DMK government in Tamil Nadu on Wednesday following the petrol bomb incident at Raj Bhavan in the city, which is the office and residence of the Governor of Tamil Nadu.
Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting and former State BJP president L. Murugan alleged that the incident was an indication that governance had “completely failed” in Tamil Nadu. “If the Governor, the highest Constitutional authority in the State, is not safe, how can the common citizens feel safe,” he asked, adding that it was not enough for the police to arrest the culprit, but they should also find out who was behind him.
BJP State president K. Annamalai said, “While the DMK is busy diverting the attention of people to insignificant matters of interest, criminals have taken the streets,” adding that this incident reflected the true state of law and order in Tamil Nadu.
Highlighting the need for ensuring the safety of highest Constitutional authority in the State, BJP national co-incharge for Tamil Nadu P. Sudhakar Reddy urged the government to ensure exemplary punishment for the culprit and those behind him.

The silent reading movement in the Mylapore-Mandaveli-RA Puram area showed up first at Nageswara Rao Park around two years ago, with modest ambitions, when Balaji launched it along with other reading enthusiasts from the region. This initiative has now moved parks, and seems to set to get entrenched in one. Due to renovation work at Nageswara Park, the reading session became irregular. With the Nageswara Rao park work gaining more surface area, it had to be shifted elsewhere. And it seems set to continue with a newly discovered green patch in RK Nagar in the Sundays to follow.
