AIADMK Leader Criticizes Tamil Nadu Government Over Power and Law Issues
AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami criticized the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government in Tamil Nadu for power cuts, poor law and order, and administrative chaos. He highlighted issues like unannounced electricity outages and the Theni jail break as signs of government failure. The TVK government, represented by Electricity Minister C. T. R. Nirmal Kumar, denied power cuts, attributing a brief disruption during Palaniswami's visit to maintenance work and generator switching. The political exchange reflects ongoing tensions between AIADMK and TVK.
