EPS condemns DMK government over AIADMK leader's arrest
Udhayakumar, along with party functionaries, staged the protest after their ‘repeated plea’ to build a subway on Alampatti-Sedapatti road yielded no result.
CHENNAI: Leader of Opposition Edappadi K Palaniswami strongly condemned the DMK regime for arresting party senior leader and deputy Leader of Opposition RB Udhayakumar along with party functionaries for staging a protest demanding the National Highway Authority of India to build a subway at Alampatti near Tirumangalam in Madurai district for public use.
Udhayakumar, along with party functionaries, staged the protest after their ‘repeated plea’ to build a subway on Alampatti-Sedapatti road yielded no result.
They had taken a democratic protest to highlight the plight of the villagers in the vicinity to cross the road after four-laning was taken up in the stretch, said Palaniswami.
Neither the NHAI nor the State government responded to the pleas in a positive way, prompting the AIADMK functionaries to join the local people’s spontaneous protest to bring attention to the issue.
