Kanimozhi blames Centre for delayed start of Madurai AIIMS work

Kanimozhi accuses the Centre of delaying Madurai AIIMS construction, citing insufficient funding and halted projects as key issues.

DMK MP K. Kanimozhi has blamed the Union Government for the undue delay in commencing the construction work of Madurai AIIMS building.

Responding to a question on BJP leader K. Annamalai accusing the DMK Government for the delayed construction of the AIIMS building, Ms. Kanimozhi said that Mr. Annamalai was in a dream world.

“The Union Government does not give adequate funds. It has also stopped projects for various reasons. In such a situation, he should not make baseless allegations. Union Ministers should have inspected (the progress of the work),” she said.

Ms. Kanimozhi, who is the head of the DMK’s manifesto preparation committee, was here on Tuesday to interact with people from various walks of life from Madurai, Theni, Virudhunagar and Dindigul districts.

Hundreds of people representing various organisations, industries, farmers and traders gave their petitions with various demands.

Agri and All Trade Chamber has demanded a big convention centre in Madurai on the lines of Chennai Trade Centre and Codissia Trade Fair Complex in Madurai.
