AIADMK MLA V. V. Rajan Chellappa criticized the DMK government for the stalled functioning of the Madurai Corporation due to the absence of a Mayor and zonal chairpersons. He cited unhygienic conditions, uncollected garbage, and poor road infrastructure as consequences. Chellappa questioned the government's commitment to public welfare and suggested internal party conflicts are exacerbating the issues, while also pointing to water supply problems despite recent project inaugurations.
