T.N. Congress Committee working president Mayura S. Jayakumar petitions Governor through the Coimbatore district administration
The Congress sees a conspiracy behind the false narrative that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was forced to call of his January 5 Punjab visit, said the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee working president Mayura S. Jayakumar in a petition he submitted to Governor R.N. Ravi through the Coimbatore district administration.
In a copy he shared with journalists at the Coimbatore Collectorate, Mr. Jayakumar said the campaign that the Prime Minister was forced to cancel his event due to security breach was aimed at blaming the Congress government in Punjab, which was going to polls in the next few weeks.
As a former police officer, the Governor would be well aware that it was the special protection group that was responsible for the Prime Minister’s security. Therefore, the SPG’s action on the day raised a plethora of questions.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
