Stalin takes a dig at EPS
The Hindu
When law and order was not in proper shape during the last five years of Edappadi K Palaniswami’s rule in Tamil Nadu, the AIADMK leaders appeared to have conveniently hidden the facts now for the sake of pleasing the voters, charged DMK president M K Stalin here on Sunday.
Speaking through video conferencing facility, seeking votes for the DMK and its alliance candidates contesting across Dindigul Corporation, Municipality and Town Panchayat for various councillor posts, Mr Stalin said that Mr. Palaniswami had mastered the art of telling lies.
When the whole world was shocked to see Tamil Nadu in a shambles during the AIADMK rule, it would not be correct to tell that the State was in safe hands, he said.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
