Manickam Tagore hits out at State BJP unit
Congress MP B. Manickam Tagore on Monday flayed the Centre for “showing partiality against Tamil Nadu which was badly affected by floods”. “No Union Ministers, not even those who hail from Tamil Nadu, have visited the flood-affected areas like Chennai and Cuddalore. This only showed that the Union government was partial,” the Virudhunagar MP said.
He was talking to reporters here after taking part in a padayatra from Kamaraj statue near Virudhunagar municipal office to Teppakulam through old bus stand as a mark of protest against the Centre for its anti-people policies. “When the BJP had increased taxes from ₹9 on diesel in 2014 to ₹32 now, members of Tamil Nadu unit of the BJP should know whom they should protest against,” he said.
