CM must raise Mekedatu issue in oppn meet: Anbumani
Claiming that the state government should have stocked tomatoes by developing cold storage facilities, when its prices remained low last month to be sold now and keep prices under check.
COIMBATORE: Pattali Makkal Katchi(PMK) president Anbumani Ramadoss on Sunday said Chief Minister MK Stalin should raise the Mekedatu dam issue in the proposed meeting of opposition parties in Karnataka.
Addressing reporters in Coimbatore, Anbumani also said Chief Minister Stalin and Governor RN Ravi should maintain cordial relations for the welfare of people. “They both should work in unison for the good of people,” he said. He slammed the state government for imposing eligibility criteria for ‘urimai thogai’ scheme after announcing it for all women in the election manifesto during the run up to polls.
Anbumani said that the state government should focus on water management by sanctioning more funds.
“In the last 60 years of Dravidian rule, nothing has been done towards water management. If PMK demands for building 10 check dams in Kollidam river, the government allows opening of ten sand quarries,” he said.
